12. Our Total Commitment By balancing our environmental impact with the purchase of carbon offsets, we will help avoid up to 127,868 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from being released into the atmosphereas a result of IBTTA's 78th Annual Meeting & Exhibition.

13. IBTTA’s commitment has a similar impact as: 8 average household’s yearly electricity use avoided or 526 fully mature trees planted or 129,160 miles not driven by an average passenger car or 11 average passenger cars off the road for one year

14. Our offset purchases will benefit the following project:
