WASHINGTON, D.C. – Carbonfund.org today announced a new long-term strategic partnership with Volkswagen of America, Inc. to make a significant contribution towards the global challenge of climate change. The first initiative of this partnership, the Volkswagen Carbon Neutral Project, is one of the most ambitious carbon offsetting projects ever undertaken in the United States. From September 1, 2007, until January 2, 2008, every vehicle sold by Volkswagen will have its carbon emissions offset for the first year of ownership.
Carbonfund.org will offset the carbon emissions of each new Volkswagen sold by supporting the land acquisition and reforestation of 1,100 acres of habitat in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, Louisiana. The project is designed to meet internationally recognized carbon offset standards and certifications. The offsets will be based on the average annual emissions* for each different type of model sold in the four-month period.
