Teva Fights Climate Change
Goleta, CA, July 13, 2006 - Leading footwear brand Teva (a division of Deckers Outdoor Corp.), in an effort to reduce impact on climate change, announced that it has offset the greenhouse gas emissions produced from it's six vehicle fleet in 2006.
DrivingGreen supports greenhouse gas emission reduction projects managed by AgCert and offers GHG reductions (offsets) to individuals and companies that want to neutralize the impact their driving has on climate change. Through DrivingGreen.com, Teva has retired sixty metric tons of greenhouse gas emission.
"We felt that we should take responsibility for the greenhouse gases that we release as a result of Teva vehicles," said Jaime Eschette, Teva Spokesperson. "We hope our effort to battle global warming will encourage others to get more involved and take action."
"Teva is setting a great example for all individuals and companies to follow in offsetting the GHG emissions they are responsible for." said Dan Linsky, Director of DrivingGreen, "DrivingGreen is excited to partner with TEVA Footwear to provide a simple way for Teva to voluntarily make their fleet greenhouse gas neutral."
