SAY NO TO CARBON ON YOUR CONSCIENCE
01/10/2007

Looking for a way to salve the nagging environmental guilt that accompanies a premium car purchase?

Vines have the answer, with a program that will allow you to offset the carbon your car will generate. For a nominal cost dependent on your mileage and engine type, you can ease your conscience. Some carbon offset schemes have been shown as little more than environmental lip service but this is the real deal, in the spirit of the Kyoto agreement and providing measurable reductions in carbon emissions that would not have happened otherwise. Examples include energy efficient brick kilns in Nicaragua, CleanCook stoves in Ethiopia, engine retrofits for cleaner mini-taxis in the Philippines and sustainable tree planting in India.

These low cost but high impact programmes underscore Vines' commitment to environmental efficiency and ethical production. Working in partnership with leading carbon management organisation Carbon Clear, these projects are chosen not only to reduce CO2 levels, but also to benefit their respective communities.

Couple this scheme with BMWs commitment to the environment which includes leading the industry in hydrogen fuel cell development and the rollout of EfficientDynamics, a programme featuring high precision direct injection, Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration, active aerodynamics, electric power steering, optimum gear shift indicator and low rolling resistance tyres.
