The campaign said it would take several steps to conserve energy, such as buying 100 percent recycled paper products, installing motion-controlled lights and purchasing carbon offsets through Native Energy, a Vermont-based company that produces renewable energy.

Billy Connelly, a spokesman for Native Energy, said the campaign was providing information on its energy use — the square footage of its office, aircraft and ground transportation, hotel accommodations and other sources — and the company calculates the campaign's total "carbon footprint."

The campaign will then purchase offsets — renewable energy such as methane and wind that could be placed immediately on the energy grid — to neutralize the carbon emissions the campaign is producing.
