ESI and the GreenBar Collective
Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) provided an independent study to the GreenBar Collective entitled ESTIMATION OF CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL FROM TREE PLANTING EFFORTS. This study took into account the company's groundbreaking post-production practice of planting a tree for every bottle of TRU Organic Spirits sold. The combined results of ESI's study and GreenBar's independent GHG inventory are unprecedented, and show that the GreenBar Collective's product TRU Organic Spirits is 760 TIMES CARBON NEGATIVE. TRU Organic Cocktails plants its trees through Sustainable Harvest International, a Maine-based non profit and TRU has planted over 50,000 trees. A single TRU Organic Cocktail will more than negate an American's average carbon footprint for a day. Currently, you can find TRU Organic Spirits at Wyndham Hotels.

Wetland and Stream Mitigation Banks
Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) is a leader in developing wetland mitigation banks since permitting the first mitigation bank pursuant to Florida's mitigation banking rules in 1995. ESI has mitigation banking experience in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. We have permitted wetland banks, stream banks, and combination sites involving thousands of acres of restoration and conservation.
ESI employees frequently prepare a due diligence analysis for each prospective mitigation bank which defines demand, anticipated service area, estimated credit generation, processing time and issues, potential competing mitigation options, and preliminary costs. We assist the client in identifying other necessary team members for the process and we prepare necessary background documentation, including the Mitigation Banking Instrument and associated permit applications. We maintain continuity by coordinating construction and by providing monitoring and maintenance for each mitigation bank.
