Numi aims to offset emissions in 2009
Numi Tea has recently partnered with Big Tree Climate Fund to offset its carbon footprint. The partnership is based on a twofold offsetting program, which includes purchasing renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets. The Oakland-based company underwent an annual emissions audit through calculations of carbon output in electricity and natural gas usage, employee air travel, use of company car, pounds of landfill use and overall shipping for 2008. Big Tree will then source and supply the equivalent amount of carbon offsets and renewable energy certificates.
