Online booking firm starts carbon offsetting
Online hotel booking service all-rooms.com is to make a contribution to carbon offsetting for each reservation made.
The company has teamed up with environmental firm Climate Care to organise the offsetting process.
All-rooms claims its £2 contribution to carbon offsetting will be equivalent to driving more than 1,000 miles in a car giving 40 miles to the gallon for every booking for one of 4,500 hotels, guest houses and bed & breakfasts.
Founder Simon Rudd, said: “Three out of every four travellers are concerned about the impact of their journey on the environment. So we are working with Climate Care to tackle this.
“We are investing money to fund sustainable energy and forest restoration projects around the world that help to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
“While the only real way to prevent damage to the climate is to limit consumption of fossil fuels, where this is not possible, the best current solution – however imperfect – is carbon offsetting.
“We hope that our £2 pledge per booking will reduce greenhouse emissions created as a direct result of hotel bookings made through www.all-rooms.com.”
