A new addition has been made to the “going green” supporters’ list. Recently, banks have displayed their interest in helping save the world by developing a new type of credit card. “Paying with plastic” will soon be a thing of the past.
This new “save the planet” advance is a product of Virgin Money, headed by environmentalist entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. Although the date of its 
launch has not yet been announced, one thing is for certain – this new credit card will be manufactured completely out of biodegradable materials. It will even be colored green. Although the main idea of the product is known, there is still debate as to which materials and processing techniques are most suitable in the production of this new credit card.
In addition to the development of this eco-friendly way of spending money, Richard Branson has also recently launched Virgin Fuels. Through Virgin Fuels Branson will supply about 400 million dollars in green energy projects, in which new renewable energy technologies will be researched and developed.
Thanks to this man, our world has a very good chance of seeing a brighter, cleaner future in more ways than one. Now it is up to us to help support his ideas.
