Hey Kossacks,
Check out what we're doing at DFA!
Your "carbon footprint" is a calculation of your impact on the environment, measured by the greenhouse gasses your activities produce.
We calculated DFA's carbon footprint by reviewing our energy bills and calculating our commutes. We also audited the flights of all our staff, trainers and consultants. DFA may not be able to completely eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels. But we can invest in renewable energy projects that cut down on carbon emissions in the United States.

We all contribute to global warming. We drive. We fly. It's likely the electricity your computer uses comes from a coal burning power plant. Every day we pump pollutants like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere -- and those greenhouse gasses are causing our planet to overheat.
We can invest in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to reduce our dependency on the types of power generation that cause the most pollution. Starting this month, Democracy for America is investing in carbon offsets to offset our "carbon footprint." There are four projects under consideration. Can you help choose where to invest?

Our partner in going carbon neutral is NativeEnergy. They provided the carbon offsets for Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth. They've also worked with the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, Dave Matthews Band and Levi Strauss & Co. They know their stuff. You can learn more about carbon offsets here:
