White Badge Partner

EarthCentric has reduced up to 200 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.

EarthCentric has partnered with TerraPass to sponsor clean energy and carbon reduction projects that result in a verified, measurable reduction in carbon emissions.

About EarthCentric

Environmental consciousness has reached a tipping point. Within the last few years, "green" choices like sustainable living, goods made from renewable and recyclable materials and products, stewardship have moved from the realm of study and debate to a point where they are capturing the imagination of the world on a very personal level. Earth-centric thinking is becoming a critical component in community, family, health, well-being and daily life, and it is driving product manufacturers and retailers to seek alternative materials.

EARTH-CENTRIC, LLC introduces sustainable product alternatives for today which are environmentally safe, biodegradable and/or compostable. From our renewable product resources, we feel that we have provided the true biodegradable alternatives to toxic Styrofoam containers and polyethylene plastic bags. It is in the remarket niche that Earth-Centric has sought since 2007 to make a difference, helping to "close-the-loop" by marketing recycled and other nature-based environmental products. We have just recently been certified “Carbon Balanced” by TerraPass through the CaneFields USA Sweet Spot Sugarcane Paper Program

About the TerraPass Badge Program

Organizations that purchase carbon offsets through TerraPass are eligible to become a TerraPass Badge Partner. Badges come in three levels, indicating the amount of carbon emissions reduced.

A White Badge signifies a reduction of up to 200 metric tons of carbon emissions. A Blue Badge indicates a reduction of between 200 and 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. A Green Badge indicates a reduction of over 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions.

Badge Level is determined by the amount of carbon reductions sponsored within the past 365 days. Reductions that took place more than 365 days ago do not count toward Badge eligibility.

TerraPass provides tools and consultations to help partners estimate their carbon footprint, but TerraPass does not certify the results of these calculations. All energy use figures are self-reported by Badge Partners, and partners are not required to balance 100% of their emissions to be eligible for the TerraPass Badge program.
