Lucid Design Group Offsets its Carbon Emissions with Carbonfund.org
(CSRwire) OAKLAND, CA - March 27, 2008 – Lucid
Design Group announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions
with Carbonfund.org,
one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. Lucid is
offsetting its 2007 carbon emissions related to both corporate travel and
office utilities and is committed to offsetting on an annual basis. This
commitment enhances Lucid's mission to drive awareness and action on
environmental issues, particularly global climate change.
Lucid is partnering with Carbonfund.org for the second time in an effort
to do its part as an ecologically responsible company. Lucid is conscious
of its carbon
footprint as well as its role within a larger global community. As a
company, Lucid's products enable individuals, companies, and educational
institutions to become aware of their energy and water consumption and
make feedback-driven behavior changes. Just as Lucid helps its customers
save resources and carbon emissions, it is very important for Lucid to do
its own part by reducing its impact.
According to Michael Murray, Co-Founder and President of Lucid, "Our
business is committed to creating a product that drives conservation
through behavior change. Building Dashboard(R) informs building occupants
of the continuous flows of energy and water taking place around them. Our
goal is to empower our customers to conserve resources and to be better
environmental stewards of our planet. We believe that it is crucial for us
to manage our company in a way that is consistent with the goals of our
products."
"Lucid has been a great partner for over a year now, and their decision to
re-commit to the CarbonFree
Small Business Program is truly welcome news," said Eric Carlson,
Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We're thrilled to keep moving
toward a clean energy future with Lucid Design Group."
About Lucid Design Group
Lucid pioneered Building Dashboard(R), a real-time energy and water use
display technology. Through web-based displays and touch-screens,
Building Dashboard(R) makes the flows of energy and water in buildings
easily interpretable with interactive presentations of real-time and
historical data.
