Forest carbon offsetting...
 
Is your company involved in forestry? Which project types do you prefer? Or do you feel forestry is too risky? – It's time to have your say by clicking here. 
 
Forestry is starting to gain more momentum and importance in the fight against climate change. We would like to build on last year's forest carbon findings by asking organisations who are already engaged in, or thinking about engaging in green issues what their current opinions of forest carbon offsetting are. To make this report as useful and comprehensive as possible we need your help and invaluable contribution!

We would therefore like to invite you to anonymously contribute you thoughts and opinions by simply clicking this survey link:

Forest Carbon Offsetting Survey 2010

The deadline for the data collection is Feb 28th 2010 and the final report will be published and freely available towards the end of April 2010.

Thank you in advance for your help and support.

For further information please email us at marketing or you can download your free copy of last year’s report by clicking here.
