The Pitch:

Every time i go to the gas station or supermarket or just about any type of shopping center i see trash cans full of reciepts. The gas station by my home right outside of the door is always full of receipts. Ditto for the supermarket, except theres is larger and always fuller.
Why not simply load the receipt on your credit card or debit cards data chip? I think it would perhaps be feasable to either do this or also possibly e-mail the reciept to your e-mail account. That way if you needed the receipt to return merchandise or for tax purposes you could simply print out the reciept from your e-mail account. For tax purposes you could simply set up a new series of folders in your e-mail account. If the e-mailing idea is not feasable then some type of reader that is attachable to your PC could be designed to periodically download the info on your PC. Of course even in the developed world not every one has a debit or credit card, so for the time being merchants would still need to have the capability to issue paper reciepts.
