Press Room FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 2001 Green Internet Service Provider Launches Worldwide EcoISP to raise funds for environmental causes, create global community BOULDER, Colo. - EcoISP (www.EcoISP.com) today announced the launch of the world's most environmentally friendly Internet service provider (ISP). As the 'green' provider of comprehensive Internet services, EcoISP makes a substantial financial commitment to environmental causes and organizations. Access through EcoISP will cost $17.95 a month, about five dollars less than monthly costs for traditional ISPs. Each month, 50 percent of each subscriber's net subscription revenue will be donated to the environmental cause of the subscriber's choice. EcoISP's portal features environmental and international news, chat rooms, e-mail accounts, live guests, child-safe site filtering, multiple search engines, links to information about urgent environmental issues and direct links to organizations such as the Environmental Defense Fund, the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society. Backers of the full-service, 'green' ISP say they are committed to building an online community hub dedicated to protecting the Earth and raising funds for national and global environmental organizations and causes. Paul Gerstenberger, Founder and CEO of EcoISP, remarked, 'The EcoISP dream is now a reality. We are rapidly spreading the word about our new site to the worldwide environmental community.' 'We've been joined by top experts in ecology and education to create a successful ISP, and more important, one that will effect change from the smallest towns and villages to the largest cities in the world,' said Gerstenberger. 'The amount of funds environmental organizations can earn is directly proportional to our membership base - the more members we have, the larger our community grows and the greater the dollar amount of donations flowing to environmental organizations. The organizations themselves will play a huge role in determining donation levels by encouraging their members to join EcoISP.' Gerstenberger said EcoISP will also be advertiser supported. However, no advertising will be sold or offered to companies or products that are not environmentally friendly. KLD & Company, an environmental consulting firm based in Boston, will evaluate potential advertisers based on their environmental record and friendliness.
