That there is thermal paper heavily coated in teratogenic bisphenols and thermally reactive dyes. No ink, the printer uses heat to create images.
No ink, since it's thermal paper. But probably more paper than you or I could comprehend
Wonder the value of the thermal paper-based marketing investment CVS is making, indeed
And how it compares to the financial and environmental cost of alternative marketing campaigns 🤔
(I’m guessing it’s pretty wasteful, though I’m sure they could figure out ways that are even worse)
Great use for 1/8 of a CVS receipt. What did you do with the rest of it?
A pair of nice scarves.
Tangentially related, but I felt compelled to share this
Amazing
