This weekend at the Sasquatch! Music Festival<\/a> in Washington, you can hear the likes of Bjork, The Arcade Fire, Manu Chao and the Beastie Boys. And if you listen closely, you might also hear the sigh of atmospheric relief as Carbon Harmony neutralizes the effects of all carbon dioxide emmissions resulting from this year\u2019s Sasquatch!<\/p>\n

You may remember from my previous post<\/a> that the United States produced at least 6,008.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2005 alone<\/a>. With a number this outstanding, how can music fest lovers feel rest assured they won\u2019t add to it when they make the trek out to see their favorite bands?<\/p>\n

With Carbon Harmony, a festival can actually neutralize its carbon footprint and then some by calculating its carbon emmissions and then purchasing \u201ca larger amount of carbon reduction credits\u201d to actually lower the total amount of CO2 in the ozone layer. This allows for a festival to not just prevent further global warming, but to actually contribute to the growing movement in global cooling.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarbon neutral is a start,\u201d says founder John Humphrey. \u201cThat gets you to zero. But why not go a step beyond and reduce the overall amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded by Sustainable Energy Partners<\/a>, Carbon Harmony begins by purchasing 10% more carbon reduction credits than you need to neutralize your carbon footprint. With the Carbon Harmony mindset of \u201cWhy stop at neutral?\u201d you can choose to go above and beyond with as many carbon credits as you want.<\/p>\n
