Jules Kragen, CEO of Jeremiah's Pick commented, "Global warming is an issue that is not going to go away unless every person and every business starts to meet it head on. Each business has a choice, to hide its head in the sand and hope or to take steps to begin dealing with this complex and ultimately catastrophic issue. We are proud to be working with TerraPass to make our contribution and encourage every small and medium sized business to do the same. We will be taking steps to reduce our energy use and shrink our carbon footprint over the coming years in conjunction with the use of offsets.
"We applaud Jeremiah's Pick for taking responsibility for its carbon footprint," said TerraPass CEO Erik Blachford. "They are proving that small businesses can be an important part of the solution to global warming. We are very pleased they chose TerraPass to help them balance out their carbon emissions."
