GreenerPrinter Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Program
(CSRwire) BERKELEY, CA - January 31, 2008 - GreenerPrinter announced today that it
is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's
leading carbon offset organization. GreenerPrinter has offset all of its
shipping through Carbonfund.org. This commitment establishes
GreenerPrinter as an environmental leader in the print industry and
demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global
climate change.
GreenerPrinter's customers are very concerned about their environmental
impact. One of the ways GreenerPrinter addresses this concern is by
reducing its carbon footprint. This new partnership with Carbonfund.org
allows GreenerPrinter to reduce its carbon footprint by offsetting the
emissions generated as a result of the shipment and delivery of printed
materials. While GreenerPrinter has done everything possible to reduce the
environmental impact of its internal operations, Carbonfund.org helps it
to minimize the additional impact of what happens after a project leaves
its facility.
"GreenerPrinter makes environmentally-responsible printing services
convenient and affordable, no matter where you are based. We help
organizations large and small to conduct their printing needs in a
sustainable way while promoting and strengthening their environmental
goals," said Mario Assadi, CEO of GreenerPrinter.
"Printers excel at getting messages across. The message GreenerPrinter is
sending is: we're taking responsibility for our greenhouse gas emissions,"
said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "They've always
worked hard to be environmentally conscious, so it makes sense that for
their shipping needs, they are taking the extra step to offset what they
cannot reduce. Carbonfund.org is excited to partner with them."
