Duurzaamheid en Milieubewust Camperen in Schotland
Bij Turas Campers Edinburgh zetten we ons actief in voor het beschermen van de adembenemende landschappen en natuurlijke erfgoed van Schotland. Sinds 2019 werken we samen met Trees for Life om de Schotse bossen te herstellen. Onze klanten krijgen de mogelijkheid om twee bomen per week huur van een Volkswagen camper te planten, een bijdrage die wij dubbel matchen. Deze actie ondersteunt de herstelprojecten van het Caledonian Forest en stelt ons in staat om iets terug te geven aan de natuur terwijl je door Schotland reist en avonturen beleeft met onze campers.
Daarnaast steunen we ook de Scottish Wildlife Trust, die natuurbehoudsprojecten financiert om de Schotse fauna te beschermen en herstellen.
Travel considerate with Turas Campers Edinburgh
Most guests drive an estimated 600 miles per week, which produces roughly 0.393 tonnes (393 kg) of CO₂. Offsetting this would require planting about 2-4 trees in Scotland, though the exact number varies depending on tree species, soil, climate, and how long the trees are left to grow.
Here’s how it works:
-
Once mature, a single tree can absorb around 10 kg of CO₂ per year.
-
Over a lifespan of approximately 40 years, a tree can sequester between 250–500 kg of CO₂.
So, planting 2-4 trees should effectively offset the CO₂ from a week’s travel. At Turas Campers Edinburgh, we partner with Trees for Life to plant trees right here in Scotland. For every tree you choose to plant, we will match it, doubling the impact of your contribution. You can add your trees during the booking process.
While we recognise that diesel campervans impact the environment, we’re committed to minimising our footprint wherever possible and supporting sustainable travel solutions. These solutions help us reduce the environmental impact of our services and ensure we’re providing a cleaner, greener experience for our customers.
Additionally, we’re committed to continuously improving our practices to make eco-conscious travel easy and enjoyable. We are hoping to introduce electric campervans as soon as possible. We encourage our customers to explore Scotland responsibly, minimising waste and respecting local wildlife and habitats.
Choosing Turas Campers means traveling with a company that actively works to protect and sustain Scotland’s natural beauty. Through our ongoing sustainability efforts, we aim to make a positive environmental impact while offering unforgettable campervan adventures across this remarkable landscape.
