SEATTLE, WA - October 17, 2007 - Remote Medical International announces that it has offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon solutions organization. This commitment places Remote Medical International as an environmental leader in the Northwest and demonstrates proactive steps being taken in the fight against global climate change.

Remote Medical International's owners, 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 Remote Medical International does on behalf of its stakeholders.

"In our business, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint everyday, but some things, such as airline travel, driving to meetings, and powering our office are unavoidable," said Chris Kenney, Director of Sales with Remote Medical International. "Partnering with Carbonfund.org allows us to operate in the way we need to while helping to preserve and protect the wild and remote environments our company is based on."

"Our climate needs rescuing," said Steve Offutt, Chief Operating Officer at Carbonfund.org, "so Remote Medical International is the perfect partner for us. In addition to providing remote medical care for situations out in our environment, by going CarbonFree, they are helping to protect our environment, too. We welcome them, and are pleased they are joining us in the fight against global warming."

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.
