"[We are] reducing energy consumption, increasing our recycling efforts, improving efficiency where possible, and making strides toward offsetting our unavoidable emissions," CEA president and CEO, Gary Shapiro, told Twice magazine. CEA produces CES.

"Consumer electronics are part of an energy-saving solution and improve the way we live, work and play, which gives this industry an opportunity to be a positive force for change and integral to environmental solutions that will ensure future generations inherit a healthy planet."

According to the report, CEA has formed a partnership with Carbonfund.org, the USA's leading provider of voluntary climate solutions, to reduce the carbon footprint of this global industry event.

Carbonfund.org will offset the approximately 20,000 tons of carbon associated with the International CES by investing in a combination of certified renewable energy, reforestation and energy efficiency projects.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to offset their airline travel via www.CESweb.org and with kiosks on the show floor.

CES will be held Jan. 7-10 in Las Vegas.
