Honestly I don't know but our overall business is definitely still on the increase. We have even picked up some high profile customers this just this week.
Your Carbon Credits aren't used inside New Zealand. They aren't used at all... they are a piece of paper issued at the completion of a project such as a windfarm so that the company can recoup the cost of building it in the first place. you then give it to someone else who in effect cancels it. So what did you do actually? What did you do for the New Zealand environment? bought some pieces of paper? ...and then gave them to someone else to cancel. I hope they recycled them once they were cancelled I hope they had the foresight to print them on recycled paper in the first place. Otherwise you may have just killed a tree to produce the paper for all those carbon credits.
The next two problems are what about the emissions used to build the project in the first place, how were they offset (were they offset.
Who has measured to see if the reductions have actually happened?? Was there an actual reduction in coal electricity production realised Y/N?
The problem is dirty CO2 producing company can stick their hand in their pocket and buy Carbon Credits. They didn't help build the project in any way shape or form. This amoung many other reasons is why the majority of the population think Carbon Credits are a crock of s%$#.
Funnily we still offer to buy carbon credits for our customers if they really really want them. To date not one has.
Better to replant the rainforests around the world.
So Green Cabs pays to have trees planted in agroforestry programmes in a number of countries around the world where the resource is needed the most and actually has a real tangible benefit on people and communities. Most importantly our customers (and our competitors for that matter :) get it. They really love what it is that we do and want to be a part of it. Even Iconic New Zealand brands like Ice Breaker have started to use Trees for the Future so the momentum is definitely growing.
We might not have replanted a rainforest but hey we're just getting started.
As far as helping New Zealand become Eco Friendly.... Have you seen our cars?? have you seen all the major taxi companies scrambling to put as many low emission vehicles in their fleet as quickly as they can?? But don't worry there's much more to come.
