Rich and Wholesome Foods
Partners with Carbonfund.org
Local Business Starts Off Green and Stays Environmentally Minded
BOULDER, CO, October 29, 2008 – Rich and Wholesome Foods today announced that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the nation's leading non-profit carbon offset organization. By teaming up with Carbonfund.org’s CarbonFree Partner program, Rich and Wholesome Foods has joined a national movement of businesses and organizations that are leading the fight against global warming. "Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Rich and Wholesome Foods," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org, "Their company exemplifies what it means to have a strong commitment to the health of our bodies and our climate."
Carbonfund.org’s CarbonFree Partner program supports renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects in the U.S. and abroad to reduce CO2 pollution and help hasten our transition to a clean energy future.
Rich and Wholesome Foods was formed with the environment in mind. Rich and Wholesome Foods is the maker of Nogürt, the leading certified organic, kosher, gluten free, common allergen free, non-dairy and non-soy yogurt alternative. From the outset, Rich and Wholesome Foods sourced ingredients which are certified organic, free from genetic modifications.
Jennifer Copeland, CEO of Rich and Wholesome Foods, explains, “Our society has ample evidence that pesticides used on nonorganic crops have contaminated our farms, soils, lakes, streams and oceans. Most of these nonorganic crops have also been genetically modified in laboratories with the DNA from harmful bacteria so those crops can withstand pesticide application. Companies producing packed goods containing wheat, corn, soy or rice or feeding those GMO crops to the cattle from which we get our yogurt, milk, cheese and meat are contributing to environmental harm and the diet-disease connection. We founded Rich and Wholesome Foods on the principle that foods should be free from these unnatural contaminants both for our health and to stop the further destruction of our planet. We also never use any soy in our products as soy farming is the leading cause of global deforestation and loss of our rain forests.”
