C.R.O.C stands for the Carbon Regulatory Offset Committee.

The best of three worlds combined to make one of those worlds better.

C.R.O.C. was created to promote the benefits of carbon offsets to folks like you. Just like a pollution-belching corporation, you too are now able to wreak environmental destruction when you earn a sufficient amount of carbon offset points. If you do something good for the environment, it just makes sense you get to do something bad to it. Or vice versa. Keep the logic circular, is what we say. Spin baby, spin!

Our People

Carl Cordova:

Spokesperson

As the de facto spokesperson and public face of C.R.O.C., Carl has a very important role to play. He received his degree in Public Relations from Alleghany County Technical Institute in 1988, and quickly moved into the private sector as an international liaison for the Zaltran Group, an international conglomerate that deals mostly in business transactions that cannot be discussed here as the result of a plea bargain agreement in 1994. Following some additional charges that also cannot be discussed because of a subsequent legal action settled out of court in 2002, Carl accepted a job with the US Department of Agriculture. From there, the next logical step was for him to join the C.R.O.C. family and help further the agenda of those completely charitable corporations pushing carbon offsets.

Carbie:

The Offsetasaurus

Originally conceived as a tool to recruit recent college graduates into the C.R.O.C. family, it was quickly discovered that Carbie appealed more to children between the ages of 4 and 7. As a result, Carbie now travels to malls and youth centers around the country spreading the message of the wonders of carbon offsets. Carbie is played by a combination of three different actors. Sadly, these actors cannot be identified because of various legal agreements between the Zaltran Group, the State of Wyoming, and PleasureZone Entertainment. For the last two months, Carbie has been educating children with a wonderful combination of singing and dancing. The songs and choreography associated with C.R.O.C. and Carbie are solely the result of the hard work of Jean Koper and, to a lesser extent, Carl Cordova.

Jean “Cookie” Koper:

Musical Director

Hailing from the hills of Western Pennsylvania, Jean grew up frolicking beside steel mills and abandoned coal mines along the banks of the Monongahela River. So, she developed an interest in pollution early on. A lifelong lover of music, Jean became proficient at the piano and really should have stuck with that. After turning down several Ivy League schools, she ended up at the Hillcrest School of Global International Studies. Following three years there, Jean performed employment-related functions for companies operating in Saudi Arabia, Siberia, and the Gulf of Mexico. Upon returning to the United States, she took a job as Carl Cordova’s personal assistant at the USDA. Very quickly, Jean and Carl developed a wonderful working relationship that continues to thrive and grow stronger each and every day. It really does.
