Consumption is an unavoidable part of our everyday life. But it contributes to global warming, which makes Swiss glaciers melt. We found a way to make using your Mastercard do the opposite – and help stop the melting. By creating a piece of protective glacier cover in the exact size of the card. With every payment. In a country-wide campaign. Adding a piece of cover every single time our customers covered the card reader with their Mastercard. And then adding up all these pieces to create a big sheet of geotextile, to cover and preserve Swiss glaciers for the next ten years.
