Carbon Foot Print
C&J has contracted MJ Bradley and Associates, a Washington Research
firm, for the development of a formula to calculate the company’s
carbon foot print related to the reduction of carbon monoxide and other
pollutants resulting from automobile emissions. In addition to the C&J
footprint calculator, we are also providing a Passenger footprint calculator
for our travelers to view their individual savings and contributions to
reducing emissions.
“One of the first steps to reducing our carbon footprint is to
provide education and awareness, our passengers play vital roles in the
improvement of the environment each time they take the bus and we felt
it important to quantify how much by offering these tools to our customers.”,
says Jim Jalbert, company President.
By riding C&J and supporting motorcoach transportation, you are taking
the greenest mode of travel, and here are some of the reasons why;
