March 11, 2002

LODI, Calif. - Loving the Earth has earned PayStar Corp. (OTCBB:PYST) some love from the California Integrated Waste Management Board, which honored the Internet kiosk and wireless banking provider with a 2001 WRAP (Waste Reductions Award Program) Award on Sept. 14.

The award, which was first given out in 1993, honors California companies that reduce waste in their work areas. A record 2,347 companies and stores were honored with this year's award, including 769 locations of the Albertson's Inc and Sav-on retail food and drug store chain, and 225 Safeway grocery stores.

PayStar initiated a recycling program at its office this year, placing individual employee stations at common work areas.

"Since beginning our recycling program, we have nearly tripled the amount we recycle each week," Kevin Stevens, Pay Star director of Internet technology, said in a news release. Stevens heads PayStar's recycling program.
