Discover Releases A Biodegradable Version of The Discover More Card
While campaigning for the White House, Senator Barack Obama promised America that he would create 5 million "green jobs" over the next ten years. Following through, President Obama tagged $60 billion of stimulus cash for investment in clean energy and technologies. For some perspective: the Obama administration has committed more money to foster America's green economy than the gross domestic product of Luxembourg.Complaints about all the planned green spending have been few.
It's clear that green movement is no passing fad, so many companies are trying to figure out how to capitalize on America's burgeoning love for and commitment to all things green. Discover Financial Services' (DFS) answer: a new version of the popular Discover More card that's biodegradable.

It's perfectly normal for a credit card bank to charge a foreign transaction fee. 2% is very typical.
IberiaBank is owned by Pulaski Bank and Trust Company, which is headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Biodegradable credit cards? Don't leave it out in the open for...what...three years? :P
Seriously though, its good to hear that credit card companies are becoming "green" as well.
