Durham, NC, April 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Shoeboxed.com, a Internet start-up committed to promoting environmental sustainability, is celebrating Earth Day on April 22, 2008 by encouraging people to recycle their receipts. Anyone can mail in receipts to Shoeboxed.com, and Shoeboxed will shred them and recycle them for any and all. People can also bring them by the Shoeboxed.com office personally.

If enough receipts are received by April 29, 2008 to save an entire tree (about 58 kilograms), then they will scan each user’s receipts into a Shoeboxed account where they can access them online for free. Such service usually runs at $9.95 per month.

Long-term, Shoeboxed hopes to eliminate paper receipts from American society. In a world that has gone digital, Shoeboxed is disappointed at how much paper is spent on receipts each year.

-220,000 tons of receipt paper produced each year in the USA alone.
-1 Ton of Paper = 17 Trees
-220,000 tons of receipt paper = 3,740,000 Trees cut Only for receipts
