We all contribute to Global Warming everyday. The Carbon Dioxide produced by driving your car and taking flights quickly adds up. Making small changes to your lifestyle by enjoying great holidays by coach would make a big difference in reducing your Carbon Footprint.

European Connoisseurs Travel is dedicated to helping reduce Carbon Emissions caused by the travel industry, with comfortable executive coach trips to popular destinations.

The average person's Carbon Footprint is about 10 tonnes, which is equivalent to filling 24 million balloons with Carbon.

Carbon emissions due to cars on the road are currently on the increase, private road transport produces 62.8 million tonnes a year, this equates to 18% of the UK's emissions of greenhouse gas. It is expected that the number of cars on the road will double by 2025 - this represents a huge rise in Carbon emissions.

Environmental example:

2 short haul flights to Europe = 1200 CO� KG Personal Carbon Footprint pp
3 coach tours to Europe based on 2000 miles including Channel crossings via Eurotunnel = 180 CO� KG Personal Carbon Footprint pp
