Land Rover helps more owners ease guilt

Land Rover helps more owners ease guilt

Land Rover is extending its carbon offsetting scheme to cover customers of its older cars as well as owners of newer models who’ve traveled more than 45,000 miles. Under the original program set up in September last year, Land Rover enabled new-car buyers to offset carbon-emissions for the first 45,000 miles by paying a small green tax to help fund conservation projects like wind farms and tree planting.

The scheme has now been extended to cover older cars, with all the collected funds going towards independent carbon offset institution Climate Care. Customers only have to pay about $170 to participate in the program, which doesn't seem like such a bad deal. Of course, it's always better to not produce the pollution in the first place but this goes some way to making that up.

    Carbon offsetting, eh? Yep, there's one born every minute indeed... I'm sure all the gangsta rappers and dope peddlers are thinking of nothing but Al Gore and his inconvenient bullshit when they buy the 2.5 tonne Range Rover.

    I am a great fan of a Range Rover. I have a 2002 RR with over 145K miles.
    The mileage I get is 11.1 mpg. My saab gets about 17 mpg and has
    about 32K . I don't think this is too
    bad a comparison.

    May I ask to be enlightened in which way is carbon (dioxide, presumably?) related to pollution?
