Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) March 7, 2008 — Ann Arbor Software Developer Xchange Network LLC, www.xcnetwork.com has chosen to offset their daily operations with CO2 offset credits from www.4Offsets.com. Xchange Network is the creator of the XC Bridge synchronization framework, which allows customers to share generic data, such as schedules, contacts, documents with colleagues and customers across the Internet. 4Offsets, llc. is a privately owned, CO2 offset provider based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

“It’s great working with a company that is dedicated to empowering its customers to operate more efficiently through the sharing of knowledge and data,” said 4Offsets CEO Fred Weiss. “The solutions to global warming rely on efficiently putting humanity’s knowledge to work on the problem. Companies are rushing to learn more about Global Warming and its possible ramifications for their businesses and 4Offsets is here to help facilitate that learning,” he added.  As the US government continues to debate how best to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there is a voluntary movement of companies that are already leading the way. While this movement is led by large companies who have legally committed to reductions in their own emissions, there are many smaller companies seeking a way to participate. 4Offsets is focused on helping small and medium business to participate in this movement for a low price and without obligation to change their business processes.

Companies that wish to offset their CO2 usage can rely on 4Offsets to provide a one stop shop to do just that. 4Offsets uses the US market to buy and retire carbon contracts for each ton of CO2 offsets purchased by the customer. This allows 4Offsets to help small and medium sized businesses enter the fight via the voluntary carbon market at a low cost.

“We couldn’t justify the cost, both financial and staffing, to join the climate exchange and comply with their complex rules and forced CO2 reductions as we continue to grow our business.” Xchange Network CEO Rhonda Lewandowski continued, “using www.4Offsets.com made participating in the voluntary market, quick, simple and cost effective. We think it’s great that we can support a free market Global Warming solution, while we wait for government to establish a coherent policy.”

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.
