leading carbon offset

Small Business Program.
"AeroShares is committed to reducing our carbon
footprint," said AeroShares Manager Don W. S. Bishop. "The reality is
that fossil fuel consumption is a part of doing business, but we want to
lead our industry and our community in doing what we can to help the
environment."

delighted to partner with them."
