Peak Ventures

At Peak Ventures, we feel it is our responsibility to be accountable for our carbon footprint on this planet. With this in mind, we participated in the Climate Smart program, where we measured our carbon footprint and targeted areas of our operation to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Now, with efforts to reduce our GHG emissions in progress, we have offset our carbon footprint by purchasing ISO 14064 – 2 validated and verified, domestic offsets from Offsetters. These offsets will help a greenhouse operator in the Fraser Valley switch from a natural gas to a biomass boiler. Beyond the direct reduction in GHG emissions for the greenhouse, this project makes local food production more viable, boosting the regional economy and reducing the need to import food from far away.

I’m hoping that next year, through changes to our operation, we can affect enough reductions to our GHG emissions to start reducing our need to buy offsets, with the goal of being Carbon Neutral every year, with fewer offsets purchased”.
