Champaign brings images of bubbles, good times, laughter, and grand celebration.  But did you know, that champaign industry emits 200,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year during transport? 

Ugh.  What a downer right?  All these happy thoughts that champaign brings to the forefront of our minds and then this news.

But as usual, the good ol' bubbly is finding a way to make us smile again.  It turns out, it's goal is to reduce it's carbon %25 of it's carbon footprint by 2020, and %75 by 2050.

They are already on their endeavor, as they have already come accross a way to make the bottles more slender while still being able to handle the pressure They  must hold.

Currently, quite a few champaign companies have switched over to the new vessel.  Within a years time, most will most likely have switched over to the more slender and eco friendly bottles.

Has the new vessel made a diffference so far?  It sure has!  By 7%!!  Way to go to all those champaign producers out there.  We look forwad to the difference you'll be making!
