4Offsets Slashes Carbon Offset Pricing

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Ann Arbor MI - CO2 offsetter, www.4Offsets.com announced across the board price reductions in the company’s Carbon Offset packages.  The price cuts of 30% to 50% on 4Offsets packages, reflect changes to market pricing that have occurred in response to volatility in oil prices and the ongoing, international credit crisis.  The company hopes that these price cuts will reignite much of the green fervor that was lost as oil approached $150 a barrel.

4Offsets, llc is a carbon offsetting company that seeks to bring awareness to the problems of global warming by allowing individuals and small businesses to purchase Carbon Offsets to account for their current carbon footprint.  Carbon Offsetting allows people to fight global warming with CO2 reduction, green energy projects and reforestation  around the world, by measuring and offsetting their own carbon footprint.  “Offsetting your own carbon footprint is the simplest action that individuals and businesses can take in fighting global warming.  It’s time to reduce our use of resources, substitute greener products and offset the remaining carbon footprint of our lifestyle choices”, company CEO Fred Weiss notes.  He went on to point out, “We now beat nearly all of our competitors on price, while offerring many of the same offset projects include the methane project at the ”Crossroads Landfill” in Norridgewick, ME. It’s a great time to buy Carbon Offsets for 2008, 2009 and beyond.”

4Offsets CEO Speaks Out on Carbon Offsets during Wall Street Panic

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Ann Arbor, MI 10/07/2008 05:53 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

 

The recent credit panic on Wall Street and it’s spread throughout the financial world has affected the Carbon Offset market.  4Offsets CEO Fred Weiss has been addressing the issue in a recent blog at SunPoweredDreams, with Washington Post reporter David Farenthold and most recently in a statement issued today

In his recent article: Fighting Global Warming in a Financial Panic, Mr. Weiss addresses the most important affect that the record high oil prices of July and the recent financial meltdown has had on consumer confidence and behavior.  “Global Warming was controlling the mindspace of American consumers and voters in January and February and is all but an afterthought today.”, Weiss wrote.   It’s no surprise that someone “who is trying to afford the SUV they drive to work, doesn’t care about the earth getting hotter, because the night sweats are increasingly chilled as they worry about their jobs, homes and feeding their families.”, Weiss added.

While the company is concerned about how this crisis will effect its business, there is more concerned for regaining the momentum that was building for renewable energy.  “Seeing the public debate move from a carbon cap to calls to “Drill, Drill, Drill”, reminds us all that the more practical a solution, the better.  We’re committed to focusing our future content on finding ways to save time or money by going green as a way to get more people involved in going green.”  Weiss finished by saying, “As a small organization, it’s easy to shift our focus to meet the needs of our clients. Most importantly we’ll keep working to spread the word about fighting Global Warming.”
