PlainSailing.com Press Release
Issued 22nd March 2022
The achievement is the culmination of a three-year company target to be carbon-neutral by 2023. Their sustainability drive has seen them putting the environment first by making eco-friendly choices over everything from solar lighting to running servers on renewable energy and sustainable travel.
As part of the project, PlainSailing.com will also raise awareness about seagrass in a forthcoming blog to their readers (including what sailors can do to protect it, and how they can get involved in the Seagrass Grow project), and plan to add an option for their clients to carbon offset their holiday at check-out.
PlainSailing.com comment
"All sailors feel a natural affinity with the world around us – we’re always looking to the wind and the waves to help us on our way – so taking care of the world, and particularly the seas, which are having a tough time of late – is so important. The effects of climate change – floods, fires, tsunamis, global warming, rising sea-levels… means we all have to do more if we want to continue to live on this planet, and we have to start taking action now – before it’s too late.
"Credit to our team for chasing down and achieving our target a full eight months ahead of schedule, and for their innovation and ongoing inspiration in making a difference. We plan to continue to support the Ocean Foundation, and the Seagrass Grow project, and to set an example that business doesn’t have to cost the earth.”
