OAKLAND, CA - March 27, 2008 "“ Lucid Design Group announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. Lucid is offsetting its 2007 carbon emissions related to both corporate travel and office utilities and is committed to offsetting on an annual basis. This commitment enhances Lucid's mission to drive awareness and action on environmental issues, particularly global climate change.

Lucid is partnering with Carbonfund.org for the second time in an effort to do its part as an ecologically responsible company. Lucid is conscious of its carbon footprint as well as its role within a larger global community. As a company, Lucid's products enable individuals, companies, and educational institutions to become aware of their energy and water consumption and make feedback-driven behavior changes. Just as Lucid helps its customers save resources and carbon emissions, it is very important for Lucid to do its own part by reducing its impact.

According to Michael Murray, Co-Founder and President of Lucid, "Our business is committed to creating a product that drives conservation through behavior change. Building Dashboard(R) informs building occupants of the continuous flows of energy and water taking place around them. Our goal is to empower our customers to conserve resources and to be better environmental stewards of our planet. We believe that it is crucial for us to manage our company in a way that is consistent with the goals of our products."

"Lucid has been a great partner for over a year now, and their decision to re-commit to the CarbonFree Small Business Program is truly welcome news," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We're thrilled to keep moving toward a clean energy future with Lucid Design Group."
