Green Tags / BEF Carbon Offsets
During 2000, BEF developed its Green Tags product (later renamed 'BEF Carbon Offsets'), in recognition of the demand for renewable energy in places where utilities do not offer that choice. The purchase of BEF Carbon Offsets allows businesses and consumers to offset the environmental impacts of their carbon (dioxide) output; and represents the environmental benefits that occur when clean, new renewable energy is substituted for power produced by burning fossil fuel. Revenues that are generated selling Green Tags are reinvested in new forms of renewable energy. In particular, these revenues support new renewable energy from solar, wind and biomass and restore damaged watersheds.
Over 1.5 million dollars of BEF Carbon Offsets have sold through 2007.

For the springtime of her pride,
Eats the green by easy stages,
Nibbles at the root beneath
With intimidating teeth.”
