TerraPass join the Federal Trade Commission hearing on carbon offsets

13th January 2008

TerraPass joined industry experts, environmental and consumer groups, and academics at a Federal Trade Commission hearing on carbon offsets, reports a blog written by Adam Stern.

Even a year ago, it would have been hard to imagine that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — the federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from misleading marketing claims — would have any reason to wade into the world of climate change and cow power. But last week I went to Washington to represent TerraPass at an FTC hearing on carbon offsets.
