Mortgages that Matter – JCF Advisors Partners with Carbonfund.org to Offset All Electricity Use Emissions
(CSRwire) SILVER SPRING, MD., December 18, 2006 -- Carbonfund.org is excited to
announce that its new Carbonfree™ partner, JCF Advisors, LLC of Marin,
CA, will be offsetting the emissions of its entire annual electrical usage
with renewable energy certificates retired by Carbonfund.org. JCF Advisors,
a leading green minded, mortgage broker with a network of over 200
available lenders, specializes in expedited customer service that is much
more than simply finding you the lowest rate. Their process requires
careful research, calculated negotiations with a lender and a thorough
understanding of an intricate real estate market.
Along with their ability to find financing for residential “green
building” construction and renovation, JCF Advisors is committed to
reducing its impacts and the support of clean energy is a key step toward
making “Mortgages that MatterTM.” “Clean energy is a vitally
important piece of our plan to move toward a Zero Carbon world,” said
Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “We’re proud to
work with JCF Advisors to offset their carbon and provide support to the
quickly expanding clean energy markets.” “JCF is a Bay Area company
that has a deep rooted commitment to the environment,” said Brian
Stewart, Partner at JCF ADVISORS. “We are only beginning our voyage down
the long road of sustainability and reducing our own carbon footprint is
just the tip of the iceberg for us, so stay tuned – we are also
launching some very exciting new offerings for our environmentally
conscience clients as well.”
For JCF Advisors, Carbonfund.org will permanently retire its electrical
use emissions through renewable energy certificates (RECs). These
certificates are 100% Green-E certified by the leading renewable energy
certification organization, the Center for Resource Solutions. These RECs
will offset approximately 165,300 lbs of CO2, the main pollutant
responsible for causing climate change.
