Dallas (PRWEB) Nov 11, 2009 -- Dolphin Blue, an online retailer of environmentally responsible office supplies, today announced that it is participating in Renewable Choice Energy’s Round Up Impact Down program. Renewable Choice Energy helps businesses and individuals understand and reduce their environmental impact with renewable energy, carbon offsets, and services such as greenhouse gas inventories and the Round Up Impact Down program.
Round Up Impact Down is a simple and effective program that supports carbon reduction projects and generates awareness for the environmental impact associated with delivering goods. Emissions produced from transportation and product shipping contributes to air pollution and climate change. Through Dolphin Blue’s participation in the Round Up Impact Down program, customers will have the opportunity to offset a portion of the carbon emissions associated with shipping their orders. The extra charge that Dolphin Blue collects when customers choose to “round up” is invested in a carbon reduction project in the U.S. In addition, Dolphin Blue will match all Round Up Impact Down contributions received one-for-one.
“Even though Dolphin Blue provides energy-saving products made with post-consumer recycled materials, I wanted to make an even greater contribution to educate our customers and reduce carbon-emissions wherever we can to help create a more sustainable planet for future generations. When Renewable Choice Energy approached me with this program, it immediately made sense, aligning perfectly with our business model and the values of Dolphin Blue’s customers,” said Thomas Kemper, founder and CEO of Dolphin Blue.
“Dolphin Blue is already clearly committed to being a more sustainable company,” said Quayle Hodek, CEO of Renewable Choice Energy. “By adding the Round Up Impact Down program, Dolphin Blue is further differentiating itself as an eco-conscious company that wants to further reduce its environmental impact and educate its customers on the impact of everyday decisions such as shipping.”
