Understanding Carbon Offsets
If you decided to be carbon neutral today for your direct carbon emissions from electricity, heating (gas), car and air travel, how would you do that and how much would it cost you? Our presenter will walk you through the simple steps you can take today to achieve that goal. You might be surprised by the affordable cost! Representatives from Puget Sound Energy and Snohomish County PUD will be available to answer questions about their specific Carbon Offset programs.
