San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 – 4Offsets, llc. a newly launched carbon offset provider, sent a message about fighting global warming to attendees of the Carbon Forum America Conference, by sponsoring a reusable water bottle.  This gift to all conference delegates, though simple and unglamorous, highlights the fact that fresh, cold water need not be purchased in disposable bottles that have been shipped across the world. 

4Offsets, llc. CEO, Fred Weiss, attending the conference, said:  “We think it’s pretty obvious to those in the industrial world that clean, fresh water doesn’t need to be bought in bottles, yet every year bottled water sales increase.  We feel that supplying delegates with a reusable water bottle not only sends that message, but also provides a way for conference attendees to keep a cold beverage with them, without generating additional waste or the CO2 emitted when shipping bottled water.”  

4Offsets, llc. based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has recently launched its new CO2 offset service at http://www.4Offsets.com.  The company seeks to provide simple, effective, carbon offset solutions to both consumers and business.  4Offsets was founded in December 2007 with the goal of offering the most user friendly, market based, carbon dioxide offsets to both consumers and business.
