Welcome Outdoor Retailer Winter Market Attendees!
Become a carbon neutral traveler today!

Outdoor Retailer Winter Market currently offsets 100% of its electricity usage for the show with wind power through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Now, YOU can do your part to reduce your own carbon footprint – it’s easy. By calculating and offsetting your carbon footprint for the air and car travel used to participate in the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market, you are supporting the growth of clean, renewable energy and contributing to a more sustainable future. You can even calculate your home usage and offset your total footprint! It’s easy being green.

There are many things you can do every day to fight climate change.
Here are 5 places to start:

  • Use energy efficient compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs. If every American home swapped just five incandescent bulb fixtures for Energy Star CFLs, it would keep 1 trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air and save $6.5 billion in energy costs.
  • Carpool or bike to work.
  • Buy Energy Star-Rated appliances and heating/cooling equipment.
  • Adjust your thermostat. Move your heater thermostat down two degrees in winter and up two degrees in the summer.
    Save 2000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $98 per year.
  • Unplug un-used electronics. Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy, called “phantom load”.
    Save over 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.

Outdoor Retailer has partnered with 3Degrees to offer both Green-e Climate Certified GHG Emission Reduction Products (offsets) and Green-e Energy Certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The offsets and RECs you purchase are sold by 3Degrees and not Outdoor Retailer. Outdoor Retailer does not have a contractual relationship with Green-e Climate or Green-e Energy.
