At Autopia,
we love cars. We also love the environment. For this reason we arrange a
complimentary 12 month Greenfleet offset for every new client.
Greenfleet is a not for profit
organisation that focuses on reducing the impact of greenhouse emissions
from Australian transport.
Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted more than 6 million trees on behalf of
Australian motorists. As a client of Autopia,
Greenfleet will plant 17 native trees on your behalf. As they grow, they
will absorb (or offset) the greenhouse gas emissions that your car produces
in one year (based on 4.3 tonnes of CO2
for the average car).
Your trees will be planted on degraded
land within rural Australia. This year, (2009), Autopia customers’ trees
have been planted near Wedderburn in north-western Victoria. In addition to
absorbing the greenhouse emissions of your vehicle, the trees will help to
create new forests and much needed habitat for native species, as well as
helping in the fight against salinity and erosion.
We also encourage our clients to
continue their offset through Greenfleet at the conclusion of your 12 month
complimentary offset.
The Autopia-Greenfleet
arrangement was the first of its kind in Australia. We were the first
vehicle management/financing company to offset the greenhouse emissions for
ALL our client's vehicles.
"Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues facing
businesses today. Greenfleet is delighted to work with
Autopia to offset
greenhouse gas emissions on behalf of their customers. This arrangement
sees new forests being planted in priority areas to soak up greenhouse gas
emissions, improve soil and water quality and provide vital habitat for
native wildlife."
Greenfleet Chief Executive, Sara Gipton
