To offset our carbon footprint from our business operations for 2022-23, we partnered with Gold Standard (www.goldstandard.org ) to help build the Betulia hydroelectric project in Honduras (Gold Standard's Betulia Hydroelectric Project). This project will provide up to 23,000 MWh of renewable green energy per year in an area where wood burning has caused deforestation and pollution.

To offset the projected impact of our operations in 2024 (and to help improve the environment in our part of the world), we have renewed our support of the Betulia project and related re-forestation in the area. In addition, we are supporting The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit that is devoted to removing plastic and other waste from our oceans: https://theoceancleanup.com/.
