The International CES has committed to reducing its impact on the environment wherever we can and offsetting what we cannot avoid. Any damage caused to the environment by the show's carbon output will be compensated through CES' donations to renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. 
In addition to offsetting the carbon emissions of all CES venues, freight, shuttle buses and hotel rooms, CES will provide attendees the opportunity to offset their airline travel via Carbonfund.org. Make a small donation to offset your CES carbon footprint.
