TerraPass cleans up at the Oscars (Very cool story!)

Tonight was a big night for us. The environment was the unofficial theme of tonight’s Oscars, and TerraPass was able to play a small part.

A little back story. If you’re even moderately pop culturally aware, you’re probably acquainted with gift bags that are given each year to the presenters and performers at the Academy Awards. Over the years, the media attention lavished on the gift bags have turned them into a major marketing vehicle, as luxury retailers compete for a piece of the limelight.

This is where TerraPass comes in. Looking for a more restrained token of appreciation in keeping with the spirit of the evening, the Academy decided to give each presenter and performer a year of carbon neutral living. The gift consists of a glass sculpture from designer Simon Pearce and 100,000 lbs of CO2 reductions from TerraPass.

Because we’re kind of hung up on the conservation thing, we also made sure to slip a conservation handbook into the gift box. You can check it out at http://www.terrapass.com/conserve.
