Groundbreaking New Resorts Aim to be CARBON NEGATIVE
A new resort chain is shortly to be launched with the aim of carbon negativity. “We don’t aim to offer a relaxed holiday†Said director Leo Clement “But we do aim to enable our clientele to dispose of all of their carbon excesses in a relatively short period of timeâ€.
All the “CarbonCrashing†resorts will provide their own energy through their guests exertions, own food will be grown and harvested, compost will be provided by guests and all greenhouse gas emissions will be quintuple offset by in-house schemes.
Guests are expected to emit little or no GHGs on their transportation, favoured arrival methods will be bicycle or foot. To this end, resorts are expected to be located in or around city centres, in brown field developments, close to their source markets.
“In this way†said Mr Clement “We expect to leverage our guests’ carbon savings so that they can negate their whole carbon footprint and when personal carbon rationing is enforced – which we expect before 2020 – there will be a huge demand for our service.â€
For complete authenticity, the resorts aim to be certified organic, fair trade and sustainable tourism – with the resort certifying individual guests GHG savings. “With all this input, we will not be cheap – our rack rate will be upwards of $1,000 a night†Added Clement “But at least, we won’t cost the Earthâ€.
Personal carbon rationing was proposed, and endorsed by the UK government, in 2006 and is expected to be a viable option within the next 10-15 years. It is possibly for this reason that the UK government is pushing through its controversial identity card legislation.
In a speech that astonished European green groups last Friday, Lady Vadera, the UK government business minister, argued for governmental use of carbon offsetting to reach EU targets. Lady Vadera demanded that UK-owned renewable energy projects outside the EU should be considered part of the renewable target.
