What do I get when I purchase an EcoFart™ FartPass™?
The best thing you get when you purchase an EcoFart™ FartPass™ is the great feeling that comes
from counterbalancing the environmental effects of your own personal greenhouse gas emissions.
You will also receive a certificate estimating the amount of Methane your purchase
has removed from the atmosphere. So to show you are taking direct action to reduce Global Warming, you will receive:
- Personalized EcoFart™ Certificate (suitable for framing)
- Tasteful FartGreen™ bumper sticker
- FartPass™ window decal
Show the world your commitment to reducing the environmental impact of your own gas.

Is FartGreen™ a non-profit initiative?
No. FartGreen™ is very much a FOR PROFIT organization. FartGreen™ is a market-based concept that promotes the development
of efficient, renewable clean energy to clean our air and remove harmful greenhouse gases. We provide individuals a way to
access the same market forces that large businesses are using to reduce their negative environmental impacts.
All of us at FartGreen™ believe that individuals should have do what they can to take direct action toward improving the
environment. Thankfully now we are all aware of the dangers of global warming.
FartGreen™ provides a way to take action to reduce your flatulence footprint™ and help heal the earth.
FartGreen's goal is to invest approximately 70% of our NET PROFITS back into verifiable, efficient, renewable clean energy technologies or operations.
Each of us can further reduce our climate impact by reducing the amount of driving we do, driving gas efficient cars when we do drive, carpooling or using public transportation.

How does FartGreen™ find projects to finance?
We are currently looking for ecologically positive energy projects to support. We would specifically like to focus on Methane Gas remuneration projects. We are happy to accept
nominations from our current customers on worthy projects. We will announce our selections in the 4th Quarter of 2007. If you would like to suggest a project, please send an e-mail to project.recomendations@fartgreen.com
FartGreen™ looks for third party verifiable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions based on accepted climate science principles.

Is FartGreen™ a 'permit' to fart in public?
Absolutely not. It goes without saying that one should continue to exercise restraint in public to maintain proper decorum
and abide by all social norms. An EcoFart™FartPass is intended to offset the negative effects of your methane emissions.
It will not eliminate the unpleasant consequences of your flatulence for others in your immediate vicinity.
Please be SmarterFarter™ and a good ambassador for FartGreen. We have created FartGreen™ to help individuals who want to take responsibility
for their gas emissions and how they affect everyone's environment. FartGreen™ is unique because it
allows citizens to help offset the negative environmental impact caused by a natural biological process of daily life - farting.

How did you come up with your pricing and product levels?
Our prices are ultimately very arbitrary because it is impossible to measure and bill individuals for their daily gas production.
So basically it is a market price between a willing seller (FartGreen.com) and a willing buyer (You). Importantly, FartGreen™ makes no warranties, representations or guarantees
that we can offset the negative environmental impact of your flatulence by our investments in earth friendly energy projects.
But of course any money invested in these projects is a very small positive step forward to reducing global warming.
We have attempted to make broad biological calculations for different categories of individuals.
Methane gas production from flatulence is such an individual characteristic and varies over time and even day to day as we all know.
Therefore it is literally impossible to price these EcoFart™ FartPass™ credits individually without installation of a monitoring device.
The variability of pollution is analogous to two motorist driving the same make and model car. Because individual driving habits vary from
motorist to motorist it is impossible to accurately predict their consumption of gasoline and their Co2 output - even if they drive the exact same number
of miles! The bottom line is the more people buying FartPass's, the more money FartGreen™ will have to invest in clean energy projects to help reduce global warming.

What gases are covered in the FartGreen™ program?
As we mentioned our focus is to invest in renewable clean energy projects that reduce greenhouse gas emisions with
a particular focus on methane gas remuneration. So your EcoFart™ FartPass™ will reduce a mix of pollutants known to cause global warming. The
exact ratio of these gases in the portfolio is unpredictable. Accordingly, FartGreen's only claim is to reduce overall greenhouse gas emisions by
investing in clean air projects and technologies.

How does FartGreen™ know that the emissions are really reduced?
FartGreen™ will only invest in projects whose results are verified by an
independent third party.

Do you offer refunds on EcoFart™FartPass™ certificates?
Yes. FartGreen™ will happily refund the entire amount of your purchase if you can provide a sworn and signed declaration from your personal physician, testifying as a
medical professional, to the fact that you have not passed gas for an entire calendar year.

Is farting the only activity I need to be concerned about?
No, of course not. But it is a start.
FartGreen™ recommends that you not only analyze your Flatulence Footprint - but also
take an inventory of your carbon footprint. Try to drive less if you own a car. Make your next
automobile purchase a higher mileage hybrid vehicle. We encourage you to look into using mercury free
compact fluorescent light bulbs to replace your current incandescent lighting. Also see if you can carpool or use
public transportation occasionally or telecommute to work when possible. Raise your thermostat in the summer and lower
it a bit in the winter. We can all make a difference together even when we act in seemingly small ways.
Buying an EcoFart™ FartPass™ is an excellent first step. Don't be shy. Tell your friends about FartGreen™ or buy a
certificate for somebody you know will appreciate it.

Can I deduct my FartGreen™ purchase from my taxes?
No. This is a for profit private industry initiative free from government subsidies. Every new member of FartGreen™ is a vote for positive environmental change and clean energy sustainability.

Are there any Federal or State tax credits available to subsidize the purchase of an EcoFart™ FartPass?
No.

Can I purchase an EcoFart™ FartPass™ from FartGreen™ if I live outside the United States?
Certainly. We are all citizens of a global village. You can purchase a FartPass™ online with your credit card, no matter where you
live. We welcome worldwide participation in reducing the harmful effects of flatulence.
