Some of the reasons why Zerofootprint Inc. was selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers (2009):
a small Canadian firm that is thinking big and providing practical software products that are helping to define and create carbon dioxide literacy amongst individuals and employers across Canada and around the world -- a necessary step to help create meaningful action
in partnership with the City of Toronto, the company recently launched the Toronto.zerofootprint.net free online carbon calculator that lets residents in Canada's largest city determine how many tonnes of carbon dioxide they produce as part of their day-to-day activities (also has similar initiatives underway in Ottawa, Seattle and Boulder as well as at post-secondary institutions) and helps to find ways to reduce and offset their carbon footprints
the company also has the online Zerofootprint Kids Calculator to help educate the next generation of Canadians, and is reaching kids worldwide through its "Country Without Borders" initiative that harnesses the power of the online world to reach millions of children and youth around the planet
