I don't think you understand. Recycling the cards completely and totally offsets the carbon footprint created by your CVS runs. It actually also undoes the impact of mileage runs AND your vacation. Even if you litter in a public park it will be washed away by your recycling efforts. You will even get a lead-based award plaque showing your zero carbon footprint that you can affix to the rear of your prius.
