Audubon Lifestyles Partners with Carbonfund.org to go CarbonFree(TM)
(CSRwire) Palm Harbor, FL – April, 29, 2008 – Audubon
Lifestyles announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions
with Carbonfund.org, one of the
country’s leading carbon offset organizations.
As a CarbonFree™
Business Partner, Audubon Lifestyles is offsetting its carbon footprint
through the support of Carbonfund.org’s reforestation projects. This
commitment establishes Audubon Lifestyles as an environmental leader
devoted to the Principles
for Sustainability as outlined by the International
Sustainability Council (ISC) and demonstrates the proactive steps
Audubon Lifestyles is taking in the fight against global climate
change.
Audubon Lifestyles is dedicated to improving the energy efficiency of its
operations and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. As a "virtual"
business, Audubon Lifestyles provides digital marketing strategies when
possible, and its decentralized team approach reduces the daily need for
transportation to and from an office building. In addition to reducing
carbon emissions, partnering with Carbonfund.org enables Audubon
Lifestyles to offset the remaining carbon emissions that could not be
avoided.
"Audubon Lifestyles is committed to assisting businesses, organizations
and individuals develop good-earth policies and sustainable lifestyles
practices that help to offset carbon emissions," said Eric Dodson, Chief
Technology Officer for Audubon Lifestyles. "It is imperative that each
one of us reduce and offset carbon emissions if we are going to achieve
the goal of developing sustainable lifestyles where we live, work and
recreate."
"Audubon Lifestyles already understands how urgent the need is to make
sustainable lifestyle changes, and now it's setting a great example by
offsetting its own carbon footprint," said Eric Carlson, Executive
Director of Carbonfund.org. "It's a testament to the commitment of
Audubon Lifestyles to its sustainability practices, and we’re thrilled
to help the organization go CarbonFree."
