Offset Sources donated through the Cleaner and Greener Program to offset the 2003 Healthcare Design Conference emissions.

E.I duPont de Nemours and Company (Dupont Antron) donated year 2003 vintage emission reductions of 2,258 pounds of nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions resulting from an emissions reduction project at the Sabine River Works plant in Orange, TX. Using U.S. EPA global warming potential equivalence factors, this has the same global warming reduction impact as a reduction of 700,000 pounds of CO₂ emissions.
