Driving communities towards future environmental stewardship.

If you are asking how your group can improve its carbon footprint- one of the answers will be - reducing how many of your members are taking cars.

According to the UK Government's Department for Energy and Net Zero transport accounts for around one-quarter of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy.

The shift towards sustainable travel by communities seeking to reduce their environmental footprint has resulted in many small groups choosing to travel by minibus. It reduces the number of cars on the road, reduces the pressure on clubs to park cars at their training, events and competitions and is an affordable green alternative.

This consolidation leads to lower emissions, reduces traffic congestion contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions; aligning with community goals of sustainability and responsible environmental stewardship.
