Vroomin' Good Times

We hope you that had a wonderfull Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Now that the holiday season is behind us and we reflect on the past year, we would like to thank all our customers for their support.

With the new year and the end of the school holidays we all need a rest, but as we've seen with Christmas planning the holidays can never be done early enough and Easter will be knocking on the door soon. So if you think you want to get away or visit family, start booking your flights, accomodation, and especially car hire. If you have special requirements, such as child seats, you will need to book early to secure those extras, and remember with Vroom Vroom Vroom there are no cancelation fees just in case you change your mind about going to visit the relatives!

Eco-Travel

Vroom Vroom Vroom is going Green with the launch of www.GreenLogo.com,this is a new program to offset carbon dioxide emission for the internet. Research shows that the Information and Computer Technology industry produces more carbon dioxide than the aviation industry. To support GreenLogo.com you can sign up on Facebook and MySpace.

To be Green Everyday
In the home there are many ways to reduce your carbon footprint. When buying cleaning products look for the Green options. Nowadays, there is one such option for everything from recycled toilet paper, biodegradable laundry detergent, soap, even window cleaner. This will help limit your and your family's exposure to bad chemicals and ensure a cleaner earth

When Shopping, ditch the plastic bags and use recyclable Green bags. Did you know it takes 500 years for a plastic bag to break down in a landfill!

We like to keep hydrated during the day, and it's not only better for the environment, but also cheaper to refill a water bottle rather than purchasing a new one each time. When done with the bottle why not use it as a herb pot. Environmentally friendly and fresh herbs make meals taste great.

Use the recycling bins provided by your local council. This ensures that plastic, glass, and other recyclables are disposed of in the best way possible.

When travelling, opt for the carbon offset option. Most airlines and car hire companies now have this option. It might cost a couple of $$$ but the planet will love you for it!

When staying in a hotel, as much as we all like the fresh feel of clean sheets and towels, opt to not change them everyday it will reduce water consumption.

You don't have to be an Eco Expert to help the environment, think before you use and ask yourself how will this impact on nature? And remember every little bit helps.

Handy Hint

There are many car hire providers out there, Vroom Vroom Vroom compares the all the major providers, and they all have different terms and conditions. When you book a car hire, even if you have done it before, always ask lots of questions, we don't mind.
