We're totally Carbon Neutral

In addition to their partnership on our carbon-neutral pledge for our supporters, NativeEnergy has just donated the full offset for our team to be completely carbon-neutral for the race week.

With 14 people flying from the East Coast to the West, and 4 vehicles driving them all back across (one vehicle will go round trip), it's a bunch of carbon we would have emitted. Now we'll be neutral. This is the central theme of our team's effort; it's not that hard to be carbon-neutral in your transportation choices.

To give you a sense of how easy it is, let me tell you how long it took me to arrive at the total for all that milage. I went to NativeEnergy's site, plugged in the destinations, vehicles/flights, and multipled. It was done in about 2.5 minutes.

OUR TOTAL OFFSET: 25 tons of carbon will not go into the atmosphere as a result of Team Xtreme4 doing RAAM. Thank you NativeEnergy.
