Our goal is to expand the impact of the project, by looking for business and organizations to collaborate with on…

  1. Ecological Accounting. Helping organizations figure out their CO2 impact and working with us to lower their electricity consumption.
  2. Ecological Restoration. Using the CO2 Sequestration Project to help in ecological restoration projects in New England and around the world.
