Carbonfund.org Offsetting over 3 Billion Pounds of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Organization offsets more than some countries produce in a year

[October 31, 2008 – Silver Spring, MD] Carbonfund.org, the nation’s leading non-profit carbon offset and climate solutions provider, announced today it is offsetting over 3 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. These offset projects, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, carbon credits and reforestation projects, were made possible by donations from hundreds of thousands of individuals and hundreds of businesses, including household names like Dell, Orbitz, JetBlue, Amtrak, and Volkswagen. Founded in 2003, Carbonfund.org has pioneered global warming solutions for individuals and businesses that reduce the climate impact of the donor and support projects that benefit local communities.

“Three billion pounds is a staggering number, equivalent to offsetting the CO2 emissions of 154 million gallons of gas, or the electricity use of 180,000 homes for a year,” said Eric Carlson, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “We started Carbonfund.org five years ago to help make it easy and affordable for everyone to mitigate their carbon impact, and the results we are seeing today support that goal.”
