JASCO Organics, Inc Partners with Carbonfund.org to go CarbonFree
(CSRwire) TAMPA, FL - September 18, 2007 - JASCO Organics, Inc announces that it has
offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading
carbon solutions organization. JASCO Organics has offset manufacturing and
distribution emissions and incorporated carbon credits into its Independent
Distributor Rewards Program. This commitment places JASCO Organics as an
environmental leader in the Skin Care community and demonstrates proactive
steps being taken in the fight against global climate change.
JASCO Organics' clients are very concerned about global warming.
Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through
Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work JASCO Organics does on
behalf of its customers.
"When it comes to conservationism, looking at the big picture can be
overwhelming. What we have to remember is that small efforts can amount to
big differences. Organizations like Carbonfund.org are a great reminder
that doing the right thing is always an option!" said Constance Duke,
President of JASCO Organics, Inc
"JASCO Organics has become a leader in the skin care and beauty industry
with its commitment to combat climate change," said Carbonfund.org's Small
Business Climate Change Specialist Lindsey Robinett. "Along with using
Certified Organic materials and recycled packaging, JASCO Organics is
adding CO2 emission offsets to its long list of sustainable practices. We
are overjoyed to welcome them to the CarbonFreeTM family."
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 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
financial support from these offsets will then help to continue the
development of clean, renewable domestic sources of energy.
