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."

About Baby Rain Inc.

Baby Rain Inc. owns and operates BabyChecklist.com and PamperedTot.com. From bottles to bugaboos and everything in between, Baby Rain’s websites sell over 900 of the best and most popular baby products on the market.

The company was founded in 2004 to fill a need in the online baby products marketplace for an online shop with the personalized customer service only previously experienced at a boutique. With great prices, super fast delivery, and a dedication to customer service, the business has experienced triple digit growth since opening its virtual doors.

Buy a Stroller and we’ll plant a tree!

Considering all that we consume in order to deliver baby products to our customers, planting a tree for every stroller purchased is a way for us to give back and replace what we take. Every time we sell a stroller, BabyCheclist.com and PamperedTot.com will plant a tree on our customer’s behalf.
