News for the Hospitality Executive

Atlanta, GA – December 16, 2008 –
Softscribe® Inc., an Internet
public relations firm that drives sales for companies targeting the
green
tourism and hospitality, green
government and related markets, today announced it will provide marketing
and Internet public relations services to Hawaiian
Mahogany Inc., a U.S.-based, 12-year-old certified provider of verifiable
carbon
offset credits for environmentally responsible Fortune 1000 firms and
companies in hospitality, travel and other industries.
.

Hawaiian Mahogany manages over 3,200 acres of reclaimed sugar plantations
on Kauai, Hawaii and sequesters approximately 130,000 tons of carbon per
year.

.
“Carbon credits are a growing channel for businesses
that want to go on record for effectively helping to stop
global warming,” said Michael Squires, president of Softscribe Inc.
“Carbon offset credits are mandated by many countries today; I expect to
see that become a reality in the United States, as well.  Hawaiian
Mahogany already provides carbon credits, which are particularly important
to hotel companies establishing an image of environmental responsibility.”

60% of Americans
are more likely to purchase products from a green company.
“We offer hotel operators a U.S.-based, tangible,
verifiable investment in clean energy solutions that could pay off in higher
occupancies and guest loyalty,” said Bill Cowern, president of Hawaiian
Mahogany, Inc. “Studies
show that 60% of Americans are more likely purchase products from a
green company.”
Other benefits to hotel operators Cowern cited
include:

Employee recruitment and retention: Companies
with a clean ecological footprint attract smart, idealistic, young staff.

Tax credits: Often available when American
companies reduce their carbon footprint by purchasing carbon offsets from
other American companies like Hawaiian Mahogany.

New business opportunities: And new reasons
for people to stay at your properties for business or leisure

A strong future:  When U.S. carbon controls
are tightened, the most successful companies will be those with strategies
already in place.  Get a head start on your competition.
