San Francisco, CA --
Jeremiah's Pick Coffee Co. (www.jeremiahspick.com) of
San Francisco announced that effective 2008, its
business operations would be carbon neutral. Carbon
neutral businesses purchase carbon offsets, helping to
create clean energy and to offset the tons of carbon
dioxide that are created by burning fossil fuels.
Examples of clean energy include wind farms and farm
power created by methane digesters. Jeremiah's Pick has
purchased carbon offset credits from San Francisco based
TerraPass for 2008.

Jules Kragen, CEO of Jeremiah's Pick commented, "Global
warming is an issue that is not going to go away unless
every person and every business starts to meet it head
on. Each business has a choice, to hide its head in the
sand and hope or to take steps to begin dealing with
this complex and ultimately catastrophic issue. We are
proud to be working with TerraPass to make our
contribution and encourage every small and medium sized
business to do the same. We will be taking steps to
reduce our energy use and shrink our carbon footprint
over the coming years in conjunction with the use of
offsets.
We applaud Jeremiah's Pick for taking responsibility for
its carbon footprint
