Carbon Balance & Climate Change

 

Calculate your Carbon Balance

Almost everything we do releases Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, increased levels of which lead to Global Warming.  Rainforests help absorb and lock up Carbon and you can use the scales to find out how much Rainforest you need to save to help balance your Carbon.

A Guide to Climate Change

Climate forecast

Scientists predict the Earth will warm by 1.4 - 5.8 o C by 2100.

Most scientists blame - at least in part - increasing amounts of certain gases emitted by fossil fuel burning and other human activities.

The scenarios on the BBC website compare a fossil-fuel driven future with one where sustainable development is a priority.

Support Rainforest Conservation – Book Airport Parking

Pickatrail.com Donates Commission on Bookings to the WLT

www.worldlandtrust.org/sponsors/pickatrail.htm

Pickatrail.com provides competitive online bookings for airport parking and airport hotels 
 owned and operated by APH.  While international air travel may not be the most
 environmentally friendly form of transport, the World Land Trust (WLT) 
recognises that, realistically, many of its supporters do fly. 
 By working with pickatrail.com and APH WLT they are able to introduce the concepts of 
good environmental practice, as well as accruing significant financial benefits  
at no cost to the consumer.
Bookings through pickatrail.com should cost no more than any other online airport 
parking booking - in fact they're usually the cheapest.  Pickatrail.com is a 
not-for-profit site, with all the commissions normally paid by APH being 
donated to the World Land Trust's conservation project in Ecuador.
