 Carbon Offset

In 2009, CDS started a partnership with Carbonfund.org, a nonprofit group that helps individuals and businesses to reduce & offset their climate impact and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Through Carbonfund.org, CDS has committed to offsetting all the domestic and international flights that our staff take throughout the year. The carbon offsets we purchase are used to support domestic and international renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions. All of the projects meet the highest standards and are third-party validated to ensure that the offsets make a positive impact.
