Park City, UT, January 15th, 2009 — Locals Have More Fun will be offsetting 100 Tons of carbondioxide emissions during the 4 day Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City, UT.

“Depicting the ‘locals’ lifestyle comes with a price”, says owner Brian Kahn. “That price isprotecting the very lifestyle that locals and destination town tourists know so well. We realizedthat much of the land that destination towns are in or are adjacent to are also National Forests.Planting trees would be a great way to offset our carbon footprint and increase thesustainability of our playground.”

Locals Have More Fun will give away reusable cups each day at 1:30pm. The cups will beimprinted with: “100 Tons Equals 200 Trees”. “What better way to kick off “social hour” thancoming by and picking up a cup that is eco friendly and represents a carbon-offsetting tree!”
