Whilst travelling, and especially driving around by car, you are emitting CO2 to the atmosphere which is the principal culprit of climate change which has been widely spoken about over the last few years. Do you know how many tons of this gas are expelled to the atmosphere every year by a car of average size?. Approximately 0.17 tons for every thousand kilometres. Amazing, but true. Therefore we must be aware that this is a problem that affects us all, and an inheritance that we do not wish to leave our children.
For this reason, and strictly following the guidelines of the UNO resolution and the World Tourism Organization A/RES/56/212 (Ethic Code of Tourism) we have decided to create the project OKAYNATURA, through which we will compensate the quantity of CO2 emitted by the rental cars of Okayautos.com and through the donation of funds to NGO’s who devote themselves to the care and conservation of the environment.
HOW DOES IT WORK? It is very simple, when choosing the extras of the rental in our reservation engine, you will find the option “TO COMPENSATE EMISSION OF CO2”. Upon selection of this option, our system will automatically add the symbolic sum of 1€ to the rental price, this is the small commitment we ask you to make to this noble cause.
For our part, whenever a client decides to help the environment, we will contribute the same amount, this way doubling the effort to offset the effects of the emission of pollutant gases to the atmosphere.
WHY OKAYNATURA? Because from the creation of the Group Okayholidays and its subsidiary Okayautos.com have made a constant effort to support and to preserve the environment, with actions that go from something so simple as the recycling of paper, to the use of new technologies that will eliminate the accumulation of residues. The following step is OKAYNATURA, a pioneering project in the sector that includes all our efforts for taking care of the planet.
Our aim is to simply offer you the rental of an economic car, providing the best service for our clients in over 200 destinations throughout Spain, whilst still taking care of the environment. To fully enjoy your vacation the only name to remember is: Okayautos.com
WHO RECEIVES HELP AND WHEN? Every year in January, we will launch a survey amongst all our clients, which will decide the association which will receive the collective funds. The above mentions funds will also be published in the same month. We will propose the name of several NGO’s that operate worldwide, but always bearing in mind that they strictly comply with the commitments of transparency and good faith dictated by the UNO and the WTO (World Tourism Organization).
Once the ideal candidate has been chosen by the majority, we will then inform them and discuss the project that best suits our idea of environmental care. All customers registered in our website will be sent a summary by mail of the financed project.
Once again this demonstrates the commitment of the Group Okayholidays by supporting the client in a clear and productive way, and we are sure that you will help us in this cause.
Okayautos.com, THE ONLY RENT A CAR IN SPAIN COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT We are very proud and excited about this project, even more so as we are aware of your concern for the environment and the evident climatic change. We once again thank you for using our rent a car service in Spain, and for being supportive in the same way as we are to the care of our planet.
