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.
