What is global warming?

Global warming is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels to provide the energy and services we use every day.

We burn fossil fuels for electricity (from coal and gas) in our homes and businesses, our cars, flights and to create the food, clothes and other things we buy and consume every day.

What is carbon off-setting?

Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce the CO2 emissions they are responsible for by offsetting, reducing or displacing the CO2 in another place, typically where it is more economical to do so.

Carbon offsets typically include renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.

As more and more people are concerned about global warming and seeking to reduce their climate impact, carbon offsets, along with personal carbon reductions, provide an important solution to global warming.

Our carbon offset programme

We are committed to protecting the environment, through our specialist carbon offsetting programme. Our objective is to become carbon neutral within the next 5 years.

All of our vehicle C02 emissions are to be fully offset by the end of 2008*

We raise funds throughout the year to contribute to recognized carbon offsetting programmes

We are the only UK driving school, undertaking such a programme
