Make your organization carbon neutral at CarbonFund.org and email to us the Carbon Offset Certificate that you receive from CarbonFund.org, a non-profit, multiply-certified, UN-backed carbon neutral services organization; the certificate (in Acrobat .pdf format) shows your organization name, the transaction date, and the amount of carbon that has been offset.
We link the image into your newsletters so that every newsletter going out will show that your organization is a good citizen of the planet. It will also encourage other individuals and organizations to be environmentally responsible, and will make all of us think more seriously about what we can do for the planet.
