Carbon Credit Environmental Services continues to grow in Detroit's
TechTown business incubator. The 3-year-old start-up plans to start looking to train laid off engineers on how to perform alternative energy audits later this year.
The company specializes in making businesses greener, providing things like energy audits and pairing companies and events with local and global projects that help offset their carbon footprint -- like it did for the
Detroit Windsor International Film Festival earlier this summer.
Carbon Credit Environmental Services performed an energy audit, installed solar panels and planted 10-15 trees at a hospice center in the city. The work is expected to save seven tons of carbon emissions, more than enough to offset what the festival creates.
