Cold Fire Signs Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree(R) Small Business Program
(CSRwire) SAN ANTONIO, TX - March 20, 2008 – Cold
Fire Signs announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions
with Carbonfund.org, one of the country’s leading carbon offset
organizations. In addition to powering its business with 100% wind energy,
Cold Fire Signs is offsetting the carbon generated by its vehicle emissions
and manufacturing waste through Carbonfund.org's
CarbonFree® Small Business Program.
By supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon offset projects, Cold Fire Signs is
conducting its business as an environmental steward for the sign and
graphics industry. In addition, the new partnership establishes Cold Fire
Signs as an environmental leader in the central Texas community and
demonstrates the proactive steps that Cold Fire Signs is taking in the
fight against global climate change.
"I've been in the custom sign making business for a long time and there is
a great deal of waste in the manufacturing process. However, I've also
seen the sign making technology evolve to where anything is
possible—even a custom-made sign that is earth friendly. The processes
that Cold Fire Signs uses create up to 50% less waste than conventional
offerings, and therefore we're leading the way to a healthier process for
our customers and the environment," said Chris Jackson, President of Cold
Fire Signs. "I heard about Carbonfund.org from Dell Computer, and Michael
Dell started his company similar to how I'm starting Cold Fire Signs. I
chose Carbonfund.org because of the amount of funds they contribute to the
actual offsetting of carbon. Together we're creating better processes
today for a cleaner and healthier environment tomorrow."
"Product manufacturing consumes a lot of energy. Cold Fire Signs first
addressed this problem through the use of sustainable energy sources, and
now the company is taking an even further step to zero-out its carbon
footprint," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org.
"We're excited about this new partnership."
