Green Transport Fast Facts
- One full bus on the road carries the same number of people as 16 cars
- Emissions from road transport now constitute over 70% of all emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Trains are the 2nd most eco friendly mode of transport after buses
- In heavy traffic jams, the air quality can be poorer inside the car than out. Car users regularly suffer up to 3 times as much pollution as pedestrians
Carbon Neutral
Reducing carbon emissions has been made the top priority in the fight to tackle climate change, carbon offsetting is a small yet vital step you can make in order to make a difference to the environment.
Carbon offsetting is the act of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions which are produced from activities such as driving or flying. Carbon offsetting works best when it is coupled with a significant effort to reduce our overall energy output. Reducing carbon emissions comes down to doing simple, every day things like turning off appliances, driving less, and buying local produce.
For those emissions that can't be reduced, carbon offsetting enables holiday makes to contribute to projects focusing on reducing emissions in other ways. By offsetting your carbon emissions you are effectively donating money to 'clear energy' projects that will prevent an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide being released elsewhere around the world. Given the global problem of greenhouse gases, it won't matter if you choose to make the reduction in Australia or anywhere else in the world. The significant positive effects will be felt the whole world over.
Flight Centre and Cleaner Climate
Developing projects under these schemes ensures that the emission reductions satisfy stringent criteria set up by the United Nations Framework on Climate Change Committee (UNFCCC) or the Australian Government. In addition, all projects are monitored by an independent third party to ensure that they produce verified carbon reductions.
Flight Centre has teamed up with Cleaner Climate (www.flightcentre.com.au/greenpolicy/) to allow travellers to offset their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from air travel. Through Cleaner Climate's international renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, you can directly contribute to programs that help offset the carbon emitted from your flight.
