Our cars are invisible - INSTYLE has signed up with Greenfleet
INSTYLE is committed to reducing their impact on the environment and
recognises that climate change caused by excessive burning of fossil
fuels is a serious problem facing the global community.
Each year the average car in Australia uses 1920 litres of fuel and
emits 4.33 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gas that contributes
to climate change and global warming. Transport is Australia's major
source of greenhouse gas emissions.
In INSTYLE's 2005 Sustainability Report, we aimed to reduce the impact
associated with our sales team's car usage. In joining the Greenfleet*
program, Greenfleet plants and maintains 17 native trees that will offset
the CO2 emissions for each car in a year.
Science shows that 17 mixed species will not only absorb CO2 emissions,
they can also address salinity, improve water quality and provide essential
habitat for endangered species.
INSTYLE is proud to become a Greenfleet member and be part of the solution.
*Greenfleet is a non-profit environmental organisation and a member
of the Federal Government's Greenhouse Challenge program
