I love to tout the power of carbon offsets. In fact, at this time last year, I asked if you knew what your carbon footprint for 2008 was. Now, I repeat the question but for 2009. Whether you do or don’t know, the simple truth is that you should offset your carbon footprint and CarbonFund.org has many options for doing so.
Now, they’ve partnered with the Responsible Purchasing Network to create the responsible purchasing guide for carbon offsets. Why is this important? Well, the prestigious client list which both CarbonFund.org and the Responsible Purchasing Network boast is a clear indicator that they operate with the highest ethical standards. However, carbon offsets can be something of a black box, accepting money in one end but yielding only intangible results.
The responsible purchasing guide for carbon offsets from the Responsible Purchasing Network solves this dilemma by offering third-party standards, third-party verification, and third-party auditing. In other words, all of the subjectivity on the part of the verification firm is eliminated because the guide provides you with impartial instructions so that you can draw your own conclusions as to which carbon offset products and providers are right for you.
I highly recommend that you visit
responsiblepurchasing.org
today to examine their many informative guides free of charge, especially the responsible purchasing guide for carbon offsets.
