Carbon Collaborations

I came across another blog that contains contains commentary about carbon and the quest for reduction.  Check out the terrablog.  It is hosted by TerraPass, a non-profit founded by a UPenn professor, that finances projects utilizing solar, wind and biomass projects.  Impressive collaberations include their recent partnership with the Ford Motor Company.  Ford will now calculate the amount of CO2 produced by the consumer and suggest an amount to invest in renewable energy sources in order to offset their vehicle's carbon.  Businesses being proactive is a good step in the right direction.
On that note, I attended the Governor's Carbon Challenge reception this week with many other businesses leaders and individuals with sincere concern for the well-being of future generations.  I was impressed with their aggressive commitments to reduce their carbon footprint and emissions.  There are more than 50 businesses in the State, large and small, committed to this challenge.  It's a solid start by our State to address a global concern.

Remember, TerraPass is NOT non-profit. They are doing a good thing, but it is a for-profit-company. Also check out CarbonFund.org - they have similar programs as TerraPass.
