A major international bank has launched a new payment monitoring system to track customers’ purchases as part of a crackdown on the general public buying meat and dairy products.
London-based NatWest Bank launched the “carbon footprint tracker” to supposedly tackle the alleged “climate crisis.”
The British multinational bank’s system monitors customers’ spending and scolds customers when they buy meat and dairy products.
The tracker issues alerts that warn customers their food purchases are causing “climate change.”
As part of NatWest’s smartphone banking app, users receive messages when they are caught buying traditionally farmed produce.
They are also urged to “swap out” items such as beef and milk with “alternatives” such as “non-dairy” or “plant-based” products.
The app pressures customers to take part in “veggie Mondays” and warns they should be “choosing (mostly) plant-based” diets to fight “global warming” by reducing their so-called greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
