You are invited to join us in becoming Carbon Neutral.
This is your Planet.
The Earth is in trouble. Too much carbon dioxide from too much
human consumption is holding heat like a blanket. Climate
change is threatening major shifts in the basic conditions
necessary for our society to thrive.
These are your Mountains.
These mountains are our beautiful home. They’re
threatened. Species extinction and ecosystem changes are
local consequences of a global problem. Because the
problem is caused by all of us, solutions require all of us.
This is your Community.
Your neighbors are kicking in. Asheville area initiatives
in biodiesel, alternative energy, waste reduction, carbon
offsets, green building, and energy efficiency are leading
North Carolina. This isn’t about politics, about red vs.
blue, conservative or liberal. It’s about recognizing that
we are all in this together.
Please join us. Do your part.
1. Become “carbon neutral” yourself by offsetting your carbon emissions.**
2. Reduce your energy and material consumption as much as possible.
3. Support local businesses that have demonstrated environmental responsibility by
becoming fully carbon neutral.
