Offset Sources:

Leonardo Academy donated and retired emission reductions to offset the SO2 emissions caused by this event. Source: U.S. EPA SO2 Allowance Serial Number 200200199980 purchased by the Cleaner and Greener Program.
Leonardo Academy donated 20 Green Tags purchased from Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) and retired them through our Cleaner and Greener Program to help offset the emissions (except SO2) caused by this event. BEF Green Tags are certifed by the Green-e Renewable Energy Program and are 100% new wind and solar energy. One BEF Green Tag is $20, is equivalent of 1,000 kWh of electricity and offsets 1,400 pounds of CO2 annually. Washington State fossil-fuel only emission factors were used to calculate NOx, PM10, PM2.5, and Hg emission reductions.
Philips Lighting North America donated emission reductions from one of their internal manufacturing facility energy efficiency projects to offset the emissions (except SO2).
Johnson Controls Inc. donated emission reductions from one of their internal facility energy efficiency projects to offset the emissions (except SO2).
