Earthsite is proud to announce that we have endorsed the California Clean Energy Jobs Act. This act will close a giant corporate tax loophole and create clean energy jobs for California.

According to their website, "An outrageous tax loophole allows out-of-state corporations to pay lower taxes in California, costing our state a billion dollars a year. This loophole actually rewards companies for creating jobs outside of California. The California Clean Energy Jobs Act closes this loophole by forcing out-of-state corporations to pay their fair share, bringing in much-needed state revenue that will be invested in clean energy and energy efficiency projects, create good-paying jobs, and help fund our schools."

On March 20, 2012 we had the great pleasure of celebrating with Dharma Merchant Services as they commemorated their 5th year anniversay at The HUB in San Francisco.  Earthsite's team worked diligently leading up to the event, along with the founders of Dharma Merchant Services Alexia and Jeff Marcous, to launch a new website for the company.  The goal of the new website was to maintain the branding of the original site while bringing the technology up to date with an easy to maintain content management system, directory and client support pages.  

Dharma (pronounced DAR-ma) is a Sanskrit word meaning "right action", "right intention" and "right livelihood".  The father, daughter team started Dharma five years ago with the intention of bringing more compassion into the financial industry.  Today they have over 2000 clients and are growing each year with additional staff and a world class office in downtown San Francisco.  

Here's to five more years Dharma!
