Banks Upgrade ATMs By Cutting Envelopes
 An increasing number of banks are making the switch to ATMs allowing customers to make deposits without requiring them to put checks in envelopes. ATM-based deposit services are widely available, but some banks are deploying new technology that eliminates the envelope. Instead, customers receive printed receipts that show scanned images of the checks they have deposited. The updated process will save money for banks and time for customers. Perhaps the biggest improvement lies in the fact that banks employees no longer have to process each deposit--as long as the machine can read the check, the whole process is automated.

For example, Boston has three green convention centers, 25 green-certified hotels, and 28 green-certified restaurants and event centers. Read more here.
