 Nevada’s national Democratic delegation will be carbon neutral
Nevada is the third state in the nation to pledge to send a “green” delegation to the national convention this August in Denver.
Elliott Small, a delegate to the national convention who owns Potential
Difference, Inc. in Las Vegas, purchased carbon offsets for all 43 of
the delegates, alternates, pages and standing committee members going
to the national convention. Potential Difference, Inc. is an advanced
electric car company whose prototype, based on a brand new Acura TL, is
on display in the Seattle, WA area.
The Democratic National Committee has challenged each state’s
delegation to purchase carbon offsets to help decrease the amount of
carbon dioxide that would otherwise be put in our atmosphere from the
travel it will take for delegates to get to Denver.
“As an owner of a company that promotes green energy, I am very proud
that Nevada is the third state in the nation to pledge to send a green
delegation to the Denver convention,” Small said. “We hope to recruit
additional sponsors to ensure the trips to Denver made by our staff,
volunteers and guests also will be carbon neutral.”
Potential Difference purchased the carbon offsets from Native Energy,
which is working with the national Democratic convention on its Green
Delegates Challenge [www.demconvention.com/green-delegates-challenge/].
While Nevada is the third state in the nation to purchase offsets for
its delegates and alternates, the Democratic National Committee is
challenging each state to purchase as many carbon offsets as possible.
Native Energy works with wind farms and methane projects around the country to invest in clean energy.
