Green wedding photography with carbonfund.org
2008-04-15 11:24:00 A few weeks ago I formed a small business partnership with Carbonfund.org to offset all of Dreamtime Images’ carbon emissions. My offsets cover my air and car travel, my energy use, and anything else the business does to release carbon into the atmosphere. I’m really proud of this since it touches on the core of my business. Pretty much everyone who hires me has a deep love for the natural world, and they want me to capture images of them surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors. So I’m pretty excited to do my part in preserving it. The minimum partnership requirements for offsets were actually a lot bigger than the carbon footprint of my business, so the business offset spills over into our personal life. Our home, personal travel, and all other emissions we’re directly responsible are offset through three types of carbon reduction projects. One project involves reforestation in Nicaragua. Paso Pasifico has partnered with Carbonfund.org to help private reser...
