NEW YORK, NY - March 6, 2008 "“ Fizzy Lizzy LLC announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. This commitment positions Fizzy Lizzy as an environmental leader in the beverage industry and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global climate change.

Fizzy Lizzy as a company is concerned about more than sparkling juice and the bottom line. It cares deeply about the community it serves and the health of planet on which that community lives. These values inform all that Fizzy Lizzy does, and it is committed to looking for ways to turn these values into action. Fizzy Lizzy strongly encourages other businesses to do the same.

"Those of us in the food business, which has uniquely benefited from the Earth's bounty, have a special obligation to do all we can to protect the ecosystems that sustain it," said Liz Morrill, Founder and CEO of Fizzy Lizzy. "Given that we're a small business with limited resources, it's absolutely wonderful to have this simple, cost-effective way to offset our carbon footprint and do our part in the effort to fight global warming. As we grow our business, so too will we increase our offsets."

"Fizzy Lizzy recognizes the complex and wonderful relationship we all-businesses included-have with this planet we all call home," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "Their leadership in this area deserves praise, and we are happy that they are joining us in hastening the transition to a clean energy future."
