Innovative Incentives, Inc. Offsets its Carbon Emissions with Carbonfund.org
(CSRwire) BARRE, MA - August 6, 2007 - Innovative Incentives, Inc. announced today
that it offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's
leading carbon reduction and offset organization. Innovative Incentives, a
full service incentive travel company, has also begun a new program "Think
Green; Be Green", in order to offer carbon offset options to its corporate
clientele. This practical step highlights Innovative Incentives' commitment
to be a leader in the New England region.
Innovative Incentives' stockholders, employees, clients, and partners are
very concerned about global warming. Considering the implications of
climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural
extension of the work Innovative Incentives does on behalf of its local
business community.
"We are delighted to begin our partnership with Carbonfund and continue
our commitment to lessen the impact on our environment in our business
practices and as members of our communities." Sarah Dion, Director,
Innovative Incentives
"Innovative Incentives understands that changes in our climate and our
environment can have a negative affect on their customers and on the
travel industry," said Steve Offutt, Senior Advisor at Carbonfund.org.
"We are pleased that they are stepping forward to join us in this
important cause."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon
offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life
for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and
businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is
cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their
normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For
instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide
produced by a coal-fired power plant. By supporting renewable energy,
energy efficiency, and reforestation projects, Carbonfund.org will retire
an equivalent amount of carbon offsets. The money from these offsets
supports the continuing development of clean, renewable sources of energy.
