Living by Example

Not only did Eco-bella undergo a green renovation but the store has also been certified to be Carbon Neutral. Under the leadership of Eco-bella owner Antje Kingma, the Virginia Highland’s business district and Eco Bella became the first carbon neutral zone in the US. According to Antje, “Verus Carbon Neutral allowed us to do to neutralize the environmental damage created by our daily necessities. The Verus Carbon Neutral Partnership is a credible, transparent and professional carbon footprint auditor. Each business at the Corner opened their books to a carbon emissions audit. Upon completion of each company audit, Verus Carbon Neutral purchased carbon offsets from the highly respected Chicago Climate Exchange. For The Corner-Virginia Highland Businesses, the offsets were bought to promote reforestation and wind energy.”
