NatureAir Reduces Global Greenhouse Gasses
As world leaders are trying to agree on ways
to save the planet one airline in Central
America has taken sustainable practices into
its own hands. NatureAir , the worlds first
carbon-neutral airline, has been an advocate
of carbon neutral business since 2004.
Based out of Costa Rica, NatureAir was
practicing environmentally sound operations
years before the President of Costa Rica
announced his plans for becoming a
carbon-neutral country by 2021. With all of
the astounding information regarding climate
change, we need to look at what effects
green’ policies will have on the world
economy and industries.
Here is how NatureAir is doing its part:
- NatureAir pays local landowners to keep
their timber standing offsetting 100% of its
carbon emissions produced each year.
- NatureAir created Costa Rica’s first
biodiesel fueling station at their location
in San Jose’s Tobias Airport. The company
runs all of its ground operations vehicles
on this alternative fuel.
- Business wise, NatureAir is a success
story remaining profitable despite the
economic down turn. They are expanding their
sustainable practices every year, resulting
in higher net profit margins, and a goal to
continuously lower emissions year after
year.
The aviation industry has been growing 5% a
year and accounts for 2-3% of global carbon
emissions, according to the International
Air Transport Association.
NatureAir understands a growing carbon
footprint is unacceptable for any industry
and the aviation community has to do
something now to lower this statistic. If
