FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
International private sector partnership attempts to tackle �Kyoto Protocol Exempt Global Airline Industry�s Pollution,� -one traveler at a time.
Greenwood Lake, New York (PRWEB) Jun 29, 2004 � The Global Airline Industry is sharply reducing the positive environmental benefits of the Kyoto Protocol.
The largest negative impact of air travel is the jet greenhouse gas emissions. The UK-USA private sector partnership between Climatecare.org and vacationtechnician.com presents an elegant solution to offset one of the largest unchecked catalysts driving global climate change, widely known as Global Warming.
Despite the global airline industry's heavy environmental toll, guidelines on international aircraft emissions were excluded from the Kyoto protocol on climate change and aviation fuel is tax-exempt. High altitude airline exhaust is one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gases. The exponential growth of low cost air carriers worldwide is only serving to compound the problem.
�At the Third Session of the Conference of the Parties in Kyoto, international aviation emissions were not included in the agreed targets, because of the difficulties that had arisen over the methodologies for allocating these emissions.�
Example: during a typical flight from Europe and the USA to Africa: from London to Johannesburg each passenger is responsible for 2.5 tons of CO2 while if flying from New York, this rises to 3.5 tons!
The Vacation Technician Company offers a convenient way of both calculating these emissions and �repairing� their negative impact on Earth's atmosphere. Each vacationtechnician.com client is consulted regarding the carbon created by their flight. Clients are then asked to make a distance calculated "offset" or financial contribution which funds a CO2 reduction project in a financially less fortunate country, professionally managed by Climatecare.org
"Beneath the glamorous high-flying image of aviation is a grossly polluting industry," said Paul de Zylva, head of Friends of the Earth in London.
�Amid years of scientific warnings on Climate Change and Global Warming, real conservation options have been non existent for environmentally sensitive air travelers,� says David Chamberlain, director of vacationtechnician.com. �We are excited to enable our clients an option to "offset" the excessive greenhouse gas and carbon emissions generated as they fly to the most enchanting wilderness retreats in the world.�
Climate Care was formed in 1998 as a limited company, to help individuals and organizations reduce their own impact on global warming. Then, as now, we were in no doubt of the enormity of the challenge, but we reasoned: "One World. One Climate. Two Choices." The first choice is to ignore the problem and hope it will go away by itself. The second choice is to acknowledge the problem and then take sensible, sure steps to resolving it.
The VacationTechnician Company is committed to providing discerning international traveler�s routes of discovery to both explore & protect the most remote & pristine wildlife areas left on our planet. Enlightening and exhilarating adventure tourism can bring hope to less developed economies and those less fortunate while at the same time sustaining and protecting our rapidly diminishing natural areas worldwide. Luxury adventure never made so much sense.
