Assemblymember Ting Unveils Legislation To Make Paper Receipts By Request Only at CA Businesses

Skip-The-Slip is back to encourage greater adoption of e-receipts

Those pesky, and often long, paper receipts have been unnecessary in the digital age. Yet, businesses continue to print them, eating up valuable environmental resources and creating more waste. They also pose potential health risks to consumers and retail workers because of the chemicals added to paper receipts. Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) will discuss the need for his new bill, AB 1347, which requires businesses to print out a receipt only when a customer asks for one.

If you as a customer cannot get a receipt without having to give an email address or ask if you can get a receipt. Then something is wrong. Many people do not want to be caught in the stores' email net, only to be bombarded with email campaigns. Or being "spyed on" every time you buy a product. No, let us have the freedom to receive a receipt without having to ask for it or provide personal information. If the shops use, for example, Blue4est paper, the paper is both environmentally friendly, food approved and can be reused. The paper is used in the same printers that today use other types of thermal paper.

Everything you write is wrong. Digital is cousin more harm to the nature than paper... greenwashing you do. Chemicals in the paper are Monitoren and so on. What do you do with your old computer full of Metall?
