The production of greenhouse gases and their impact on climate change is a problem of unprecedented scale that has not only begun to affect our lives today, but that, if not checked, will continue to impact our planet for generations to come. As a leader in field of Healthcare Marketing Services, we felt compelled to address our personal contribution to this problem, and have decided to take concrete steps to not only reduce, but to actually zero-out our Carbon Footprint as a corporation. Our first step in the achievement of this goal is now complete. Electricity generation in Ontario is a leading industrial source of carbon dioxide, and through Bullfrog Power of Toronto, the carbon impact of our Production Facility will now be completely offset by the production of Green Electricity through wind and low-impact water power. We are pleased to announce this initiative, but recognize however, that this is only a first step. Notwithstanding, our commitment as a corporation is clear. Over the course of the next several months, all of our locations will become Carbon Neutral, and by the end of 2008, our net Carbon Footprint as a corporation will be Zero. Obviously, we will not solve the problem of Global Warming by ourselves, but what we will do is at least make sure that we do not add to the problem.
