CarbonTwin Launches an Innovative Concept in an Attempt to Shake the $55M Carbon Offset Industry: Buy Carbon Offset for Free

| Sourced From PRWeb.com |

CarbonTwin.com is the world’s first social network that attempts to eliminate paying for carbon offsets, introducing a simple idea: instead of paying a fortune for carbon offsets, members at CarbonTwin offset their carbon offsets for free with other members, based on their carbon footprints.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 — CarbonTwin launches an innovative social network that introduces a never seen before concept: instead of paying a fortune for carbon offsets, members at CarbonTwin.com simply share their carbon offsets for free, or merely in exchange of your friendship…

Founders of CarbonTwin.com realized that the future of CO² emissions, carbon offsets and forthcoming legislation was going to present a significant challenge to both the end level consumer and all active companies, so they came up with that revolutionary concept.

“In our desire to lower current carbon emissions and help the planet, the avenues were very limited. As Cap and Trade began to take shape in the United States, the necessity to create a viable option to the impending cost factors became the priority.” said Roy Toman, founder and CEO of CarbonTwin.com.

So What is CarbonTwin.com All About?
CO² emissions up to now have had no intrinsic or core value. So many pioneers in the Carbon Offset sales industry associated a value per unit that was based on a variety of different methods. In all, the value was strictly arbitrary in this unregulated industry. The expenses incurred by companies trying to offset their particular emissions and help the planet, were enriching many but unfortunately, tangible results could not be measured.

Legislation of Carbon Offsets
CarbonTwin.com predicted that the US government would soon enact legislation in regards to these emissions and that as soon as the government will put this legislation into motion, the actual value of carbon emissions will be dictated by law. Once this value is set (still in debate in Washington DC), carbon emissions will become a commodity. As a commodity, they will place a limit on both industrial and consumer emission levels which in turn, will create a revenue stream for US government and a heavy cost for the consumer. Thus, we have: Cap and Trade. As a commodity individuals and companies have the current options of buying extra Carbon Offsets, or paying a fine for your excess emissions beyond the level set by the government. Such laws have been in effect in Europe for a while, with no success in the reduction of carbon emissions, resulting in infliction of tax burden, disguised as a fine for the consumers. The American public does not understand how Cap and Trade is all tied in, whilst governments taking over of the car companies, banks and their desire to create a Universal Healthcare plan. It is believed that the cost of these law initiatives will be supported in one way or another, by the money raised with Cap and Trade legislation. Very soon the reality will be that consumers will wake up to a very centralized government with very few alternatives to imposition of taxes. In the light of that dark climate, CarbonTwin.com aims to provide a free venue for consumers and corporations, offset carbon emissions absolutely free and thus help each other.

The CarbonTwin Alternative
Once carbon emission becomes a commodity, it can also be traded and exchanged between individuals and companies. Any excess of carbon emissions (under what the government determines as your set maximum level), can now be allocated to an individual or companies which exceeded their set limits.
CarbonTwin however, offers a socially and environmentally conscious solution in a form of free exchange of the carbon commodity. It incorporates all the social-friendly features of popular social networks like facebook & MySpace. Members of this rapidly growing social network, measure their carbon footprint using the built in Carbon Footprint Calculator and store that number in their profiles. Other members search for members with lower carbon levels and add them as ‘CarbonTwins’, exactly as you would add ‘friends’ in facebook.

About the Founder
Roy Toman currently resides in Florida and was awakened by his upbringing in tropical Panama, where after a classical education he began to explore the environmental consequences brought on by unfettered growth and unresponsive governments. His foundation in International Banking and expertise as a multilevel financial consultant, provided the insight necessary to understand the delicate balance necessary to sustainable growth and industrial expansion. Feeding his curiosity he rapidly discovered that the expansions of population in third world countries was not matched by industrial progress. The multifaceted needs created by expanding population bases was dwarfed by industrial growth and the degenerative impact on the environment of it. The main reason for the establishment of CarbonTwin was to provided a medium for the individuals to work together for a common goal. Also to offer an alternative to the current solution which always requires a money exchange.
