Don't
Forget Green Friday
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still dreaming of the endless emerald hills and wild coastlines of
Ireland? Now is the perfect time to make that dream a reality. Take
part in our Green Friday promotion, ending this
Monday the 6th of December. Here are our sustainable incentives to give
you that little extra nudge.
For each
traveller who books by Monday:
- We'll plant one native Irish
tree with the Native Woodland Trust. During their
lives, trees remove significant amounts of CO2 from the
atmosphere, storing carbon and also releasing oxygen back into the
air. In addition to their carbon removal benefits, the Native
Woodland Trust's tree planting projects help support important
preservation and re-forestation efforts in Ireland.
- As part of our plans to
achieve True Net Zero Status by 2030, we are already offsetting
the carbon impact of each trip that we operate. Booking during our
Green Friday promotion means that not only is your trip 100%
offset, your booking is contributing to removing more CO2 from the
atmosphere than your trip will produce.
Why did we
decide to do things differently this year?
We recently launched our carbon labelling project, and with it,
our carbon reduction and offsetting plans.
We want to make it easy for our travellers to make greener choices and
to help make a positive impact whilst travelling
