EcoGatherings and Symbiosis Offset Carbon Emissions for 512 Cars at SG06
The EcoGatherings booth at SG06 yielded a total of $173 in tree planting and $167 in renewable energy credits to offset carbon emissions incurred by Symbiosis attendees. In total, this means we offset roughly 512 roundtrips from San Francisco to Symbiosis Gathering, or the equivalent of 120 round trips from Portland to Angels Camp. Nice work people!
Of available offsetting programs, Carbonfund offers the lowest price, at $5.50 US per metric ton of carbon dioxide, and has a price-matching plan that will offset an additional 5 tons on top of our contribution. Carbonfund's reforestation projects focus on repopulating local areas that have been devastated by fire or overwhelmed by insect populations. Renewable energy sources include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and others; Carbonfund does not support large scale hydro or nuclear projects.

2006 Road Donation Fund Quadrupled
This year, each car driving in to Symbiosis was requested to give a $5 donation to improve the condition of the local road. We raised $541.00 over the 4 day span in generous donations. This total was matched by Symbiosis Events, bringing the total to $1,082.00. This amount will be matched again(!) by the local landowners, for a total of $2,184.00 to be dedicated to improving the road and helping to balance our impact on this rural neighborhood. Thanks for your help!
