Carbon Credit Environmental Services (www.getcarboncreditco2.com ) is partnering with The Children’s Center of Wayne County to help them celebrate their 80th anniversary with a tree planting ceremony and a bottle drive.

CCES, located in Detroit's TechTown, provides CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions energy audits and life cycle analysis for companies, providing ways to reduce energy costs and their “carbon footprint” and/or making their product or service “carbon neutral.”

The commemorative tree planting and dedication ceremony with members of the national touring cast of  “Annie” will occur on Thursday, May 7.

In keeping with the “green” theme, a bottle and can drive will be conducted that day to raise funds for The Children’s Center.

The first 100 people who bring a minimum of 20 cans and bottles will receive one voucher good for two free tickets to select performances of “Annie,” the classic musical about never giving up hope, at the Fisher Theatre. The bottle drive fundraiser will run from between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. at 100 Alexandrine.

Besides local projects, CCES' current carbon offset projects include wind energy and tree plantings in the United States, methane recovery in India and the United States, non-edible oil plants in India, and tree sinks in Ecuador and China.
