Green Path Transfers Launches Global Service, Provides Eco-friendly Ground Transportation to Conscientious Travelers

London – 7 March 2011. Green Path Transfers (GPT, www.greenpathtransfers.com), the newest subsidiary of the WHL Group, has launched as a global provider of eco-friendly airport and intercity transfers.

GPT answers the needs of leisure and business travelers seeking cost-effective ways to reduce their carbon footprints. GPT has recruited to its unique global network only established, service-minded ground transportation operators with a demonstrated commitment to a greener future, either through their pioneering use of low-emission vehicles or their movement toward adoption of sustainable practices and clean technology. GPT further neutralizes any presently unavoidable emissions by 100% carbon offsets through reputable organizations like atmosfair and Blue Ventures Carbon Offset.

Powering a Green Engine

In keeping with a vision to help build a sustainable and responsible travel industry, GPT is on a mission to go green. “This involves placing significant emphasis and focus on partnering with transfer companies that are already using low-carbon-emission vehicles, wherever possible, to operate our transfers,” reads the GPT website.

The goal is to assemble a critical mass of ground transportation companies committed to zero or very low carbon emissions through the use of alternative fuels and/or engines. GPT partners like those in Portland (Oregon), Vail Valley (Colorado), Los Angeles and San Diego (California), Toronto (Canada) and elsewhere currently employ hybrid, fuel cell/hydrogen or electric vehicles, as well as biodiesels, ethanol, liquified petroleum gas or compressed natural gas.

Offsetting Carbon Emissions

“As well as this, every single one of our transfers is 100% carbon offset,” continues the GPT website. “We recognize that many of the local suppliers we work with are just starting the journey to using carbon-neutral transfer vehicles and hence we have decided to work with two organizations we believe offer innovative and extremely accountable/transparent offset options, in order to fully offset 100% of the emissions produced by our transfers.”

Blue Ventures Carbon Offset (BVCO) is a charitable organization that runs socially responsible projects through sponsorship of solar and fuel-efficient stoves. BVCO is helping GPT develop accurate carbon-dioxide calculation methods. “We are then able to offset carbon quickly and permanently in our socially responsible projects,” adds Leda Smith Sommerville, BVCO Program Manager. “Like GPT, BVCO is committed to creating positive environmental change by reducing global carbon-dioxide emissions.”

atmosfair is an independent, non-profit organization that offsets greenhouse gas emissions by collecting donations against them. The donations are then used to finance projects in developing nations. “As green local transfer companies are not always available, atmosfair supports GPT by offsetting the unavoidable emissions through high-quality emission-saving projects,” comments Katharina Behrendt of atmosfair. “atmosfair is pleased to help advance GPTs sustainable mission.”

Meeting Consumer Needs

With GPT’s easy-to-use online booking system, travelers and businesses hit the road confident that, for rates equal to those of other global providers, their ground transportation is in good hands and that they’ve made the beneficial choice to reduce their carbon footprints. Partnerships with carbon-offset organizations bring added peace of mind with the knowledge that their trips are helping to fund meaningful clean-energy projects worldwide. From solar energy programs in India to hydraulic irrigation systems for rural farmers in China, the initiatives Green Path Transfers supports through its carbon-offset partners extend far beyond tree planting.

Clearing the Green Path

“It’s crucial for us to embrace green and cleaner technologies and modes of transport for the long-term health of the planet,” says Adrian Cordiner, CEO of the GPT far-reaching network of ground transportation operators. “As transport is a main emitter of carbon, it’s a natural place to start in order to try to make a dent in global carbon emissions.”

GPT recognizes, however, that its chosen green path is a long and challenging one. “We started this business because we want to change the way transport is done, whilst also making sure we offer unparalleled service and extremely competitive fares. We are passionate about a greener future for the planet, and we love working with like-minded customers, operators and organizations to help shape that future!”

To that end, GPT has put in place a range of incentives and supports to move all local partners toward a greener future that includes upgrading their fleets to include any lower-carbon options available to them.

“Every little bit helps,” Cordiner adds. “We believe that, by being an industry leader in the use and support of cleaner technology, both in ground transportation and through offsets, we will inspire others to follow suit.”

Back $12.34 One-legged Charley Summers is finally home from the war, after several years in a German prison camp, only to find he must now deal with the death of his lover Rose. A shell-shocked romantic-slow, distant, and dreamy-he begins to have trouble telling Rose’s half-sister Nancy apart from Rose herself, now buried in the village churchyard. Coping and failing to cope with the quiet realities of daily life, Charley’s delusions elevate his timid courtship of a practical and unremarkable young woman into an amnesiac love story both comic and disturbing. A contemporary of Anthony Powell and Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green was one of the greatest English novelists of the twentieth century, and Back is his most haunting and personal work.

Tales From the Back Green $11.81 When these captivating Tales from the Back Green were broadcast on BBC Radio they were described by The Herald as ‘a vividly engaging portrait of a vanished city’ and The Scotsman as ‘an engaging series fondly and wittily rendered’. Now published for the first time, actor Bill Paterson’s stories brilliantly evoke his 1950s Glasgow boyhood. This is a world of intriguing characters and extraordinary events set against the background of the changes and challenges of the post-war era the nuclear threat, the fading dominance of the kirk, Rock and Roll, the disappearance of the beloved trams, and why penny whoppers were not worth tuppence. As a young surveyor, Paterson was witness to the dramatic transformation of the city, as austere tenements were swept away to make way for new roads and high-rise blocks. Tales From the Back Green is a brilliant realisation of childhood and youth; of memories Paterson describes as ‘suspended in amber like Jurassic Park’s mosquito, with its DNA still intact.’ He wonders whether our memories change from grey to gold as the years pass – do we naturally recall our childhood as a time of optimism and hope?
