As the transportation and power sectors generate the most greenhouse gas, the President of the first transportation company to provide Climate Neutral travel extended his congratulations to the first power company to make the same commitment. "Businesses and consumers don't have to wait for the environmental laws to change to confront global warming," says Mitchell Rofsky, President of TripleE, the 21
st
Century travel agency. "Seattle City Light's leadership will lead to more consumers and, in turn, more businesses, being aware of just how much each of us contributes to global warming -- and to do something about it. If all businesses did so, as idealistic as this may seem, the need for government regulation would decline."
"If we were located in Seattle, we would joint many others to line up to obtain Climate Neutral electricity -- just as so many recycle their trash. Climate Neutrality is another form of
clean-up -- just like recycling," Rofsky continued.
TripleE is working with many organizations (i.e. the Certified Forest Products Council
of Portland, the Social Ventures Network of San Francisco) to "take their travel and their annual meetings Climate Neutral."
