WALNUT CREEK, CA - October 22, 2007 - The CRE Group, LLC announces that it has offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon solutions organization. The CRE Group has committed to donate 1% of all LEED consulting profits. This commitment places The CRE Group as an environmental leader in the real estate services community and demonstrates proactive steps being taken in the fight against global climate change.

The CRE Group's employees and 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 The CRE Group does on behalf of its employees and clients.

"We are fully committed to doing our part, not only to help our clients become more aware of sustainable building efforts, but we are also prepared to make a commitment ourselves," said Rob Cockrum, President of The CRE Group. "Our goal is to take actions to reduce our carbon footprint both at home and at work. In addition, we believe that at a corporate level we can make an additional impact by partnering with Carbonfund.org to purchase carbon credits."

"Energy use in buildings is a large source of carbon dioxide emissions and is an important factor in the increasing risk of climate disruption," said Steve Offutt, Chief Operating Officer for Carbonfund.org. "It's a pleasure to have CRE Group join us in the fight against global warming while also educating their clients and reducing the carbon footprints of the buildings they consult on."

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, reforesting areas that have been deforested through human activities can absorb carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. 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.
