Bayou Land Conservancy is pleased to announce The Reliant EcoShareSM, a new way that Texans can support Bayou Land Conservancy and offset their own carbon production at the same time. Reliant Energy and EarthShare of Texas have launched a program that allows Reliant customers to help reduce their carbon footprints through the purchase of carbon offsets. And for each customer-purchased offset, Reliant will make a contribution to EarthShare of Texas and its participating organizations. As an EarthShare of Texas participating organization, Bayou Land Conversancy will benefit from this program.
