The Clymb Offsets Its Shipping Carbon Emissions and Helps Build NativeEnergy’s Indiana School Wind Project

Published 12 years ago | About a 3 minute read

Portland, Ore. - January 8, 2013 - The Clymb, the leading flash-sale e-tailer for the outdoor and active lifestyle, ships thousands of packages a day to its members across the country. Each one of those packages travels by plane, truck, or train to reach its customers. To combat emissions from shipping transportation, The Clymb is partnering with NativeEnergy. Through the purchase of NativeEnergy’s Help Build™ carbon offsets, The Clymb will offset the CO2 produced by the company’s product shipments.

The Clymb’s carbon offset purchase will help fund the Indiana School Wind Project. This project—a trio of wind turbines serving Indiana school districts—powers school buildings, saves money, and provides hands-on renewable energy training for young people.
