The DePrez Group of Travel Companies is Proud to be a Part of the Solution.........

Each time we heat our homes, take a flight or drive the car, CO2 is added into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is released when fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal are burnt.

We can all take simple steps to reduce the amount of CO2 we produce.

Here are some easy and helpful suggestions:

1. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.

2. Adjust your thermostat by 2 degrees.

3. Set your programmable thermostat to insure that the air and heat do not run as often while

you are out.

4. Carpool to work once a week.

5. Get reusable water bottles instead of disposables.

6. Print fewer e-mails.

7. Look for "Energy Star" appliances and computers

We can also offset the rest. Offsetting means paying for someone to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere on your behalf. In that way we can mitigate the impact of our activity and help to fund our transition into a lower-carbon world.

The DePrez Group of Travel Companies is proud to partner with NativeEnergy in this effort. Our alliance provides our staff and customers with information on climate friendly living and access to tools to offset our use of fossil fuels.

We encourage you to learn more and to consider if purchasing carbon offsets is appropriate for you. For our part, The DePrez Group Of Travel Companies purchase offsets for all staff business travel, as well as an annual purchase to offset automobile travel for our staff to and from work.
