Reduce & Offset with Carbonfund.org

By Sara Simon

Here at Software for Good, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re entering our fifth year as a Carbonfree® Business Partner with Carbonfund.org!

What that means? Our offset donations have neutralized the same quantity of emissions as created by a standard passenger car driving almost 600,000 miles. And in return, Carbonfund.org has planted 50 trees in our honor.

We’re proud to put our money where our mouth is, and we’re even prouder to put our work there, too.

Last month, we built a new site for RE-AMP, an online networking system dedicated to connecting climate change and energy policy efforts across the Midwest. The new site pushes for a big increase of user engagement and participation, along with easier site management and maintenance. As Tom Elko, director of the RE-AMP Media Center at Fresh Energy said, the new site is “a sustainable long-term solution” that can adapt to RE-AMP’s own organizational changes.

Not unrelated, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the fact that it’s almost (knock on wood) spring, and the cycling season has officially begun again! A good number of our team members bike into the office every day. Better air, health, and commuting for everyone involved.
