Historic Vehicle community rallies in support of carbon balancing scheme
The FBHVC (Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs) announced a carbon balancing scheme to the historic vehicle community last December.
Whilst recognising that the carbon footprint of the historic vehicle movement is already immeasurably small, with the entire community accounting for less than 0.25% of the total mileage on UK roads, the offer of carbon balancing has been incredibly well-supported by historic vehicle owners.
The Federation’s scheme offers individuals, clubs and those organising events within the historic vehicle community a quick and convenient way to carbon balance their emissions thanks to the planting of new woodland here in the UK. Importantly, that woodland will also be planted using native species to best contribute to the local ecosystem. Planting in this way also brings with it a host of other benefits, including increased biodiversity, creation of recreational spaces and flood mitigation to name a few.
So far since last December the historic vehicle community has successfully carbon balanced 553,564 miles.
