Fizzy Lizzy Partners with Carbonfund.org to go CarbonFree(R)
(CSRwire) NEW YORK, NY - March 6, 2008 – Fizzy Lizzy LLC announced today that it is
offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's
leading carbon offset organizations. This commitment positions Fizzy Lizzy
as an environmental leader in the beverage industry and demonstrates the
proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global climate
change.
Fizzy
Lizzy as a company is concerned about more than sparkling juice and the
bottom line. It cares deeply about the community it serves and the health
of planet on which that community lives. These values inform all that
Fizzy Lizzy does, and it is committed to looking for ways to turn these
values into action. Fizzy Lizzy strongly encourages other businesses to
do the same.
"Those of us in the food business, which has uniquely benefited from the
Earth's bounty, have a special obligation to do all we can to protect the
ecosystems that sustain it," said Liz Morrill, Founder and CEO of Fizzy
Lizzy. "Given that we're a small
business with limited resources, it's absolutely wonderful to have this
simple, cost-effective way to offset our carbon footprint and do our part
in the effort to fight global warming. As we grow our business, so too
will we increase our offsets."
"Fizzy Lizzy recognizes the complex and wonderful relationship we
all—businesses included—have with this planet we all call home," said
Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "Their leadership in
this area deserves praise, and we are happy that they are joining us in
hastening the transition to a clean energy future."
