Carbonfund.org is the launch partner for the first-ever EPA Climate Leaders approved offset project with Casella Waste Systems' Clinton County Landfill Methane Project. Carbonfund.org is now offering offsets from this important project, which is helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to individuals as well as businesses at www.carbonfund.org/climateleaders.
The project, located near Plattsburgh, NY, is a landfill methane collection and destruction system located at a 70-acre facility. At the site, decomposing organic material such as paper and food produce landfill gas, a portion of which is methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is about 23 times more potent than CO2! By combusting the gas, the project keeps methane out of the atmosphere.
From Jan. through Sept. 2008, an estimated 100,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions were avoided, equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from over 18,300 passenger vehicles. The project also has great environmental and community benefits such as improving local air quality and preventing groundwater contamination.
Carbonfund.org is proud to be the launch partner for the first-ever EPA Climate Leaders approved offset project. Please support the project by visiting www.carbonfund.org/climateleaders.
