How to take part
With
every private rental, Enterprise Rent-A-Car customers are offered
the opportunity to reduce their impact on the climate by offsetting
the carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions generated by an average rental car operating in our fleet.
Simply select the carbon offset option when booking your car hire
online at
www.enterprise.co.uk or ask at the branch.
The £1.25 (€1.25 ROI) paid by the customer for the offset will be
collected by Enterprise and passed on to ClimateCare to be invested
in their portfolio of carbon reduction projects. Initiatives range
from replacing the traditional Lao stove in Cambodia with a version
delivering measurable gains in efficiency, through to supplying and
installing treadle pumps in India, allowing farmers on the plains to
grow crops all year round, whilst reducing their use of fossil
fuels.
According to ClimateCare, for every 100,000 customers who choose to
take part in this programme, with Enterprise’s pound-for-pound
(euro-for-euro ROI) match, they will offset more than 33,000 metric tons of
CO2.
This is the equivalent of a year’s savings from changing over a
million incandescent light bulbs for efficient compact fluorescent
ones in the UK.
