Law Firm And Insurance Brokerage Fights Global Warming with Carbonfund.org

Washington, DC. - Hill & Kehne, LLC, a law firm and insurance brokerage focused on environmental cleanups, Brownfield redevelopment and other matters, has pre-funded and otherwise committed to reducing its carbon footprint to zero through Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree™ program. It is the first law firm to do so.

"Offsetting our carbon footprint is a logical step for a company in the environmental field," commented Mike Hill, one of the firm's founders. "We help our clients achieve cleanups and other solutions toward sustainability. It makes sense for us to get our own house in order in every way that we can. The process was surprisingly easy and inexpensive."

"Climate change is an issue that affects every human being, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or income" said Carbonfund.org Executive Director Eric M. Carlson. "The actions and decisions we take over the next few years will impact our world for generations to come. By offsetting its carbon impact, Hill & Kehne is taking a concrete step to live within nature's bounds. We are thrilled to have them as a partner."

Carbonfund.org is the premier non-profit organization enabling every individual, business or organization to offset its climate impact easily and cost-effectively. Carbonfund.org assisted Hill & Kehne with calculating its direct and indirect carbon footprint -- including such things as office space, air travel, employee commutes, and even service providers' activities -- and then provided a means to offset that footprint by contributing to renewable energy, energy efficiency, or forestation projects.
