(CSRwire) LOS ALTOS, CA - December 18, 2007 - EcoUnit announced today that it has
offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading
carbon offset organization. EcoUnit has neutralized its carbon footprint
for the year as a first step towards significant offset commitments. With
the launch of the EcoUnit rewards program, EcoUnit members will have the
option to redeem their EcoUnit credits for offsets that are fulfilled by
Carbonfund.org. This commitment places EcoUnit as an environmental leader
in the market research and rewards community and demonstrates proactive
