Youtube Video: Discover the Sweetness of Being CarbonFree

This year at Natural Products Expo West, a convention held at the Anaheim Convention Center in sunny California, Carbonfund.org met with our friends at Florida Crystals, producer of CarbonFree Organic Sugar. In this video, Brian O'Malley, President and CEO of Domino Foods (marketing agent for Florida Crystals) gives us the rundown about why it's important for them to be environmentally conscious and how they're doing it.



The Florida Crystals website explains why what they're doing is unique:

Florida Crystals® certification is unique; unlike other manufacturers who rely on the purchase of carbon credits from third parties, we were able to supply our product’s carbon neutrality through our own production of renewable energy.

We have been operating our renewable energy facility for a decade. It is the largest of its kind in North America and produces clean energy that powers our sugar operations and tens of thousands of homes. By generating renewable energy using sugar cane and wood waste instead of fossil fuels, we prevent hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year. Florida Crystals also reduces foreign oil dependence by one million barrels per year.
