Climate change is a global issue that will affect us locally. That is why local business Cachet Cars Ltd has chosen to work with Carbon Clear to offset their harmful emissions. By first calculating the carbon footprint of their business, Cachet Cars Ltd have been able to balance their climate impact.
Cachet’s owner Andrew Chitty said, “We believe our customers understand the threat of climate change, and expect the businesses who serve them to do their bit. We’re very happy to be a Carbon Clear business because it shows that we care for our environment, and are taking positive action.” Cachet Cars Ltd now proudly display the Carbon Clear certification on their literature and website. Mr Chitty said, “The certification is important because it allows consumers to see at a glance that we take the environment seriously.”
Carbon Clear work with businesses to help them reduce their greenhouse gas emissions where possible, and to calculate the emissions that cannot be avoided. They then sponsor tree planting projects overseas that remove the right carbon dioxide released from the atmosphere. Mark Chadwick, Director and Founder of Carbon Clear said “A Carbon Clear business is one that can operate without adding to the problem of global warming. Their customers can buy safe in the knowledge that they’re make a responsible choice”.
In a world where a new story about climate threats and the need for action seems to surface every week, Mr Chadwick and co-director Jamal Gore recognise that most people need to reduce their carbon dioxide emission, first and foremost. “In the Western world, we are pumping out far more than our fair share of carbon emissions,” said Mr Gore, “and this should be the focal point for action. Carbon Clear gives people an easy way to clear up the emissions that remain. We’re especially pleased to be supporting projects in developing countries that both clear the air and give local people the development benefits-like medicines and health services—that they deserve.”
