Virtually no one in American society can avoid consumption of fossil fuels. Whether you are running a factory, driving a hybrid car, or using a pencil eraser – you are responsible for contributing excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The cumulative effects of carbon dioxide emissions cause global warming and exacerbated environmental calamities. Carbon Offsetting is the act of mitigating a business’s or individual’s carbon dioxide emissions in attempt to reverse the dangerous track our planet is currently on.  The Green Office mitigates all of its carbon emissions and is a carbon neutral business.  To learn more about carbon offsetting visit www.OfficeFootprint.org.
