The Genesis Forest Project, a new effort by Hyundai Automotive to reduce carbon footprints, is exciting and simple at the same time. You see, one of the best ways to reduce the negative impact of releasing CO2 into the air is to plant more trees. Trees are, in essence, “nature’s clean-up crew.”
This is why Hyundai Automotive promises to conserve and reforest 3,000 acres of tropical forest in one of the world’s “richest and most threatened reservoirs of plant and animal life on earth” when you buy a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. By doing this, Hyundai Automotive is helping to offset your carbon footprint for an entire year.
But helping the environment isn’t the only thing this new program does. The new program also provides workshops for local communities to “promote the utilization of non-timber products such as oils, native fruits and honey.” The program also contributes to the building of a research center where scientists will be able to study forest carbon projects, biodiversity and sustainability.
With reasons like these, can you think of any reason not to visit your Pottstown area Hyundai dealer when it comes time to purchase your next car? You’ll be helping the environment by merely investing in a car that you’re going to enjoy for several years to come.
