The 2007 Kodak Gallery Pro Cycling Team, presented by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co may be the first of it’s kind in offseting 100% of all Co2 emission pollution the team generates with clean wind power.The Sierra Nevada Brewing Co has partnered with wind power company and the renewable energy credits (REC) offset all the contribution of Co2 emissions.About 120 days of racing activity will be there in 2007.The offset by them equals the reduction of emissions level of “not driving 670,000 miles, planting 8,500 trees, or preventing the burning of 345,000 pounds of coal”as per statistics of U.S. DOE.
It is interesting to note that Sierra Nevada has one of the largest fuel cell installations in the US apart from other environmental friendly activites. Source: kgsncycling.com. The information is here. 1) http://www.kgsncycling.com/about.html 2 )http://www.sierranevada.com/environment.html
