Carbon offset Range Rover!

Amazing...

I was walking past a car showroom this afternoon, and I happened to have a closer look at this lovely Range Rover that was parked outside. You see, I love cars, I can't deny it, and I'm pretty sure that if I had the money I would probably own some pretty environmentally-unfriendly vehicles. The Range Rover itself is great: strong, powerful, comfortable, British etc. etc. One BIG problem however is how much carbon it dumps on the atmosphere.

Well thank you Range Rover for coming up with a solution. This car had a sticker on it's windshield saying that it's carbon neutral upto 45,000 miles of use. Literally, the Land Rover company that makes it will plant enough trees to offset the damage it does over that period. This is great news!

Environmental people always go on about how much damage 4X4s do to the environment. Well, now they no longer need to moan about the Range Rover.

Now I just need to find the 60,000 pounds to buy one. Hmmm...

Planting trees is NOT enough
Even though planting trees is a very good thing. The car builders already know how bad our planet has become by using "fossil fuels" and it is going to get SO much worse and very soon. Car dealers need to make cars that dont emit ANY carbons in the air.They can do it.If they dont do it very soon, it will be to late for all of us.The scientsits have told everyone this, but we all need to stand together.

I sometimes wonder if the fossil oil will finish in the coming 50 years as experts say. we will get rid of about 20% of the carbon emission and impact on the global warming. Isn't it enough to save earth after all :)

guilt free for sure...
but a hybrid Range Rover would be congestion charge free, since Ken decided that four by fours will pay £25 instead of the £8 standard charge.
