[ Carbon Offset ]
Why Charter with a biodiesel boat company?
Doing the right thing at no extra charge, charter a biodiesel boat through North Shore Charters.
By chartering a biodiesel boat with NSC you are effectively offsetting your vacations global warming carbon emissions by a few metric tons.
Here's why:
One gallon of petroleum diesel releases 22.2 lbs of toxic carbon monoxide and the extremely dangerous by product sulfur dioxide directly into the atmosphere. This poisons the water with carbonations particulates that have been directly linked to the global decline of marine wildlife.
One gallon of b99 (99% biodiesel) releases 4.44 lbs on carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, no sulfur dioxide, biodegrades in water faster than sugar and is less toxic to fish and mammals than the salt in the water.
A typical whale watching tour boat (non biodiesel boat) will use 50- 300 gallons of petrol during one 3 - 4 hour trip dumping as much as 8,800 lbs (4.4 metric tons) of poison into the atmosphere.
Multiply that times about 250 trips per season that equals 1,100 metric tons of global warming and sick whales and that is just ONE non biodiesel boat tour. There are dozens of charters to choose from.
North Shore Charters is the ONLY!!!!! biodiesel boat chartering in the North West and possibly the world that is powered on pure bio-diesel. Many of the other companies advertise they use biodiesel but it is in very small quantities if at all, 5% or less, just enough to use it as an advertising tool.... it's a travesty.
A typical 4-hour trip with a North Shore biodiesel boat uses 30-40 gallons of b99 bio-diesel, which has a carbon footprint of about 132 lbs of carbon monoxide. At no extra charge.
Now doesn't that feel good...Take a Biodiesel boat charter.
