Air and auto travel emit harmful greenhouse gases that build up in the atmosphere. Although this is controversial, it is believed by some scientists that the negative impacts of travel can be reversed by supporting renewable energy in the form of Carbon Offsets. If this is true, then a BEF Carbon Offset is an investment in clean energy. Purchasing a BEF Carbon Offset allows you to make an important decision: "Do I want to support dirty fossil fuels or clean energy?" Finally you have a choice-- just like you can choose between fuel efficient or gas guzzling vehicles. When we produce clean energy and feed it into the power gird system, or "Energy Pool", the dirty, non-renewable resources are scaled back as wind and solar take over which means less carbon dioxide pollution in our atmosphere.

The BEF Website has a promotional code for our film festival which is : greenfilmfest
After our attendees go through the carbon calculator and hit the "Offset Now" button, you will be presented with a screen titled Think Green, Act Now. Below the pricing options is a box for the promotional code. You need to enter the code to get the 20% discount. The code is active now and will be available through March 31st.
BEF delivers carbon offsets to their customers (in the form of a numbered certificate) every March. March is the month of their Green-e audit where a third party double-check's their carbon offset sales. They are are closing up their 2008-2009 year right now in preparation for their upcoming audit so all of their current sales are being rolled into the 2009-2010 delivery year. Those attending the Green Lifestyle Film Festival who take part in this carbon offset opportunity will receive an acknowledgement letter directly after payment. However, the official numbered certificate will not be mailed until mid March of 2010. BEF understands that this is not an ideal situation, however BEF is proud to be Green-e certified and feels that the audit is a necessary step to help authenticate the purchase and sale of carbon offsets.
