Last week when unemployment numbers soared to near-record highs, President-elect Barack Obama focused on crafting solutions that will help hard-working American families and struggling homeowners during this economic crisis.

If President Elect Barack Obama stays true to his campaign promises, federal cap and trade legislation may soon become a reality.  In light of this, companies are competing to become the EPA ‘feeder’ greenhouse gas registries of choice.  One company of note is the non-profit, American Carbon Registry.  With 25 million registered offsets and stamps of approval from both Fortune 500 companies like Nike and mission-driven institutions like the World Bank, the American Carbon Registry enters the pre-compliance market as a leading domestic registry.

“American Carbon Registry is an imprimatur for low risk and high quality. We add value by helping our members position themselves to earn early-action credit towards future federal and international GHG regulatory programs,” says Wiley Barbour – Founder and Chief Technical Officer.
