Who are we and what are we doing?
Greenslip has been in business for over fifteen years. Originally we worked with the Bureau of Automotive Repair and Air Resources Board setting up effective vehicle emissions testing facilities. As this program grew and changed we evolved into the market of calculating total carbon footprints and putting together programs to reduce individuals and organizations carbon footprint. Realizing that organizations and individuals were not going to be able to completely eliminate their carbon footprint we looked at programs that would benefit the environment such as "Fee and Dividend". We are now putting together the next piece which is simplifying the payment of the corresponding fees at both time of purchase and yearly accounting.

California's major initiative for reducing climate change or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is outlined in Assembly Bill 32 (signed into law 2006). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved its AB 32 Scoping Plan December 12, 2008. View it here. There are many things you can do. Even though the scoping plan will not have mandated actions until 2012, voluntary early actions, count.
The Western Climate Institute is a collaboration of independent jurisdictions in Canada, Mexico and the US working together to identify, evaluate, and implement policies to tackle climate change at a regional level. This is a comprehensive effort to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, spur growth in new green technologies, help build a strong clean-energy economy, and reduce dependence on foreign oil.
Be a leader start improving now. Greenslip can help you designing, implementing and documenting early actions. Make a plan to do your part or email us for help at clients@greenslip.com.
