Fight the Climate Change

Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge

Our climate on earth is changing because we are wasteful !. Especially in the land of plenty, we waste: food, gas, trees, natural resources like coal, minerals etc. Our weather pattern is changing and we have to do something to sustain the life on earth. We are wasteful, we will not be able to leave anything for future generations. Some people consider "sustainability" as buzz word or in vogue. Sustainability has a long lasting and real impact on our lives. We need sustainability in agriculture, water resources, power, fuel we use in our cars etc. It is high time that we join hands worldwide to build a sustainable world. Just sustainability in America is not sufficient since we live in a global inter connected world. Join our hands to build a world that will exist tomorrow !.

Indus Organics joins the Brighter Planet’s 350 Challenge


The 350 Challenge is a small way to show your support to fight climate change. The more bloggers that get the badge, the better. Thousands of readers will know that the climate movement is spreading far beyond the typical “environmental” realm and into the norm.

Who is Brighter Planet?

Brighter Planet is a Vermont start-up committed to fighting climate change and building a clean-energy future. Borne out of a Middlebury College classroom, we are dedicated to demonstrating how small actions can lead to meaningful change. Through our products, services and expertise, we help you to reduce greenhouse gas-emitting activities, expand your use of green technologies, and build renewable energy projects.

What affiliation do you have with 350.org?


Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge is inspired by Bill McKibben’s awareness campaign about the importance of the number 350, the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere that we must aim for if we want to keep the planet relatively safe. Bill is on our advisory board and the 350 crew are some of our dearest friends from Middlebury College. The 350 Challenge is a way that we can help bloggers spread the word. To learn more, listen to the podcast about the 350 campaign that we did with Bill.

Why carbon offsets?

Carbon offsets play a crucial role in building a sustainable society. Many renewable energy projects are well suited to produce energy and meet stringent standards, but lack sufficient financing. Carbon offsets fill that void by investing in these projects.

What kind of offset projects are they supporting?


Our renewable energy projects in communities across the U.S. decrease our national dependence on carbon-emitting “dirty” energy sources like coal burning power plants. Some are wind power in public school districts or open lands and others are cow power on family farms. They all meet Brighter Planet’s stringent project standards. Learn more about our projects…
