Buy a Stroller, Plant a Tree! BabyChecklist.com and PamperedTot.com Go Green!
(CSRwire) HERMOSA BEACH, CA, May 13, 2008 – Baby
Rain Inc., the owner and operator of BabyChecklist.com and PamperedTot.com,
announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of
the country's leading carbon offset organizations.
As a CarbonFree(TM)
Small Business, Baby Rain Inc. is offsetting the carbon footprint of
both its online baby products stores through the support of
Carbonfund.org's renewable
energy, energy
efficiency and reforestation
projects. As a CarbonFree™
Shipping Partner, Baby Rain Inc. is offsetting the carbon emissions
associated with the shipping of BabyChecklist.com and PamperedTot.com
products, while also planting a tree for every stroller purchase. This
commitment establishes Baby Rain Inc. as an environmental leader in the
online retail community and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking
in the fight against global climate change.
"At BabyChecklist.com and PamperedTot.com, increased sales have required
more resources such as paper, boxes, electricity and fuel to ship orders
to our valued customers," said Greg Charlap, Co-Founder of Baby Rain Inc.
"To minimize the climate impact we couldn’t reduce, we wanted to partner
with Carbonfund.org because they preserve our environment. Since most of
our customers are expectant parents, they all share our vision and realize
the need to take care of the environment for our children."
"My wife Lesley and I founded Carbonfund.org so that we could start being
proactive about climate change. As parents, we wanted to protect the
environment and secure the future for our children," said Eric Carlson,
Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "That's why we're so pleased to
partner with Baby Rain Inc. They're going CarbonFree and educating other
parents about global warming."
