RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Program
(CSRwire) BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, January 24, 2008 – RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com
announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with
Carbonfund.org, a leading carbon offset organization.
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com has implemented a global program offering its
users the option to offset carbon emissions at the same time they list
their property. This commitment establishes RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com as
an environmental leader in the classified real estate advertising community
and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against
global climate change.
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com saw an opportunity to provide a service to the
real estate industry, on a global scale, by doing two things. First, its
listing services allow customers uploading property sales ads to feature
the environmental benefits of the property. RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com
believes in empowering people around the world to focus on where they can
have the greatest impact: in their own homes and offices.
By focusing on the environmental features of property,
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com hopes that sellers will work towards making
their property more sustainable. The benefits of making property more
environmentally friendly include reduced utility bills and home expenses,
which make it a win for both customers and the environment.
Second, RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com's partnership with Carbonfund.org
allows it to provide its customers with a GREEN listing subscription. For
every GREEN subscription chosen by its customers,
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com will offset 4000 pounds of carbon dioxide on
behalf of the customer.
"RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com is proud of its association with a reputable
non-profit organization like Carbonfund.org. We are excited to offer the
global real estate community the opportunity to offset carbon emissions
and make a positive environmental contribution," said Seth Rodgers, CEO of
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com.
"Homes account for a large portion of the world's energy consumption.
Focusing on the measures ordinary homeowners can take to reduce and offset
their carbon footprints is an eminently worthy goal," said Eric Carlson,
Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We are excited to help
RealtyOnlineAdvertising.com accomplish that goal and solidify their
position as an industry environmental leader."
