(CSRwire) ORLANDO, FL - January 28, 2008 – Galaxy Nutritional Foods, a leading provider of cheese alternatives and organic foods, announced today that it has offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. With this partnership, Galaxy is taking their product shipping and office CarbonFree. Galaxy is the first food company to join Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree shipping program.

Galaxy's customers are very concerned about global warming.
