MOM’s Organic Market
MOM’s Organic Market has reduced over
1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions in the current year.
Carbon dioxide emissions, the principal cause of global warming, are an inevitable consequence of energy use. Every time an individual or organization uses electricity for lighting, fuel for transport, etc., additional carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere.
MOM’s Organic Market has partnered with TerraPass to sponsor clean energy and carbon reduction projects that result in a verified, measurable reduction in carbon emissions.

About MOM’s Organic Market
MOM's Organic Market purchases carbon credits from TerraPass in direct proportion to the emissions released from its customers' shopping trips. MOM's uses zip code data from its customers to estimate mileage driven to and from MOM's stores. In addition to previous launched initiatives such as Think Outside The Bag, We Love Inflation, and Ban The Bottle, TerraPass Your Gas supports MOM's Purpose, which is to protect and restore the environment. About MOM's Organic Market: In 1987 with $100 in his pocket, Scott Nash, founder of MOM's Organic Market, started a home delivery/mail order company of organic foods out of his mother's garage. Since then, MOM's has grown to become the region's premier chain of locally owned and operated organic grocery stores, offering an incredible selection of organic products at everyday low prices. MOM's currently operates eight stores in the metro area including: Alexandria, VA, Bowie, MD, College Park, MD, Frederick, MD, Herndon, VA, Jessup, MD, Rockville, MD, and Timonium, MD. MOM's will open stores in 2012 in Merrifield, VA and Waldorf, MD.
