Recently funded GrubHub, an online "take-out menu drawer," is doing its part to make the world a better place. Starting today, GrubHub will begin purchasing carbon offsets for every delivery order that's placed on GrubHub. In creating a service that promotes laziness and excessive driving (hey, one car taking food to multiple people is better than all those folks driving their own cars to pick up the food, right?), GrubHub CEO told me that he feels kind of bad about how his company affects the environment.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]Partly due to the company's recent funding, and also do to its continued success, GrubHub now has the wherewithal to do something about it. Something productive for the environment. It's working with Chicago-based Carbon Solutions Group to neutralize the company's ecological footprint.
