How many receipts do you have in your wallet? No, really, how many? And how many of those will you never look at again?
Bradley Ericson, the 19-year-old Drexel University student whose idea to eliminate paper receipts on college campuses has earned him accolades, is willing to bet that you have a lot of them.
Ericson, now a sophomore at the University’s LeBow College of Business, found inspiration for his company, 3SecondReceipts, when he found himself up to his ears in little slips of paper.
