The U.S. Composting Council has made a commitment to offset the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conference activities and attendees' air and vehicle travel to and from the conference, totaling up to 500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Environmental Credit Corp., in State College, Pa., is providing carbon offset credits and "retiring" them on behalf of the USCC.
The carbon credits will come from specific projects that reduce methane from manure and organic residuals management and will be verified, audited and registered with the Chicago Climate Exchange. Environmental Credit Corp. is an offset provider for US and international markets, and a member of the USCC.
