March 10, 2009 - In exchange, Carbonfund.org will provide offsets at a rate of $10.00 per metric ton of CO2, guaranteeing that tons of CO2 purchased and retired on behalf of Platerage.com and its users, are real and verifiable, and guarantees that these tons are not double counted.
“We are trying to remain focused as a forward looking, positive idea company that welcomes the opportunity to work together with Carbonfund.org in the battle against global climate change,” says one of the websites co-founders. “Since the main topic of Platerage.com is automobiles, we thought it would be fitting to begin to offset some of the emissions produced by these very same automobiles causing the rages!”
Effective immediately, every ‘Rage’ posted or vented on Platerage.com not only potentially saves one physical road rage confrontation, it also helps to offset some of the CO2 being released into the atmosphere.
“We are very excited with this partnership, and feel that it is only the tip of the iceberg in Platerage.com’s positive growth!!”
