Offsetters Helps Vancity Credit Union Achieve Carbon Neutrality for 5th Consecutive Year

Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. ("OCS" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) congratulates Vancity, Canada's largest community
credit union - with over $17 billion in assets and close to 500,000
member-owners - on achieving their environmental sustainability goals for 2012.
Offsetters is pleased to have been selected as the provider of choice for high
quality carbon offsets to help Vancity meet their goal of carbon neutrality for
the 5th consecutive year.


Vancity has been a leader in enhancing the environmental sustainability of its
operations through energy efficiency, recycling, and the use of green building
materials in their facilities. Every year, Vancity measures their footprint and
then reduces their greenhouse gas emissions to the greatest extent possible. For
the remaining emissions which cannot be reduced at source, they choose to offset
these through the use of carbon offsets. In addition to being carbon neutral
since 2007, Vancity has saved in excess of $2 million in energy costs since
committing to reducing energy use and emissions from their buildings. 


For their 2012 unavoidable emissions, Offsetters partnered with Vancity to
supply a total of 5,296 tonnes of offsets. 2,913 tonnes originate from the Great
Bear Forest Carbon Project that generates emissions reductions through the
protection of coastal rainforest areas that were previously designated or
approved for commercial logging. The remaining tonnes come from the Nanaimo
Landfill Gas Capture and Utilization project, which captures methane (which
previously flowed freely into the atmosphere and has the global warming
potential of over 20 times that of carbon dioxide) to either flare, or to
produce electricity. Additional information about Vancity's carbon offset
criteria can be found here:

"It is a pleasure to continue working with a leader like Vancity. They have
fully embraced the triple bottom line approach to business, proving that being a
sustainable and engaged corporate citizen is both socially and financially
rewarding, commented Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters.
