The Mewla Rally is to partner with Carbon Positive Motorsport as part of a long-term environmental plan.
The rally, organised by Epynt Motor Club, will partner with Carbon Positive Motorsport to provide carbon offsetting for all competitors and organisers event vehicles, as part of a long-term roadmap and commitment to mitigate the events carbon footprint.
The event joins several UK events this year who have chosen to take steps to mitigate their events carbon footprint as part of their environmental plans, by using high-quality UK sourced and certified carbon offsetting projects from Carbon Positive Motorsport.
Carbon Positive Motorsport are the first company in the world to offer dedicated carbon offsetting services exclusively for motorsport. They provide carbon offsetting for all motorsport events, teams, competitors, and spectators, and will provide carbon positive levels of offsetting for all the rally organisation vehicles on the Mewla Rally, and will offer competitors and spectators a unique event discount on carbon offsetting purchases.
Event spokesperson Dan Harper commented, "Our partnership with Carbon Positive Motorsport is an important first step to show Epynt Motor Club and the Mewla Rally’s commitment to being a sustainable event. Sustainability is now a part of everyday life, so it is important we as organisers, competitors and spectators play our part in ensuring the sport we love is sustainable for future generations to enjoy."
Carbon Positive Motorsport founder Paul Glass said, "We only use the highest possible quality and 100% UK based carbon offsetting projects. These generate carbon reduction in the future through rewilding projects, and our restoration of ancient woodlands, and the reintroduction of native species of trees and animals to improve biodiversity, will result in a greater positive environmental impact than by offsetting alone. With a strong interest from many Welsh competitors and events since our launch, we are actively developing suitable Welsh based carbon offsetting projects for future use."
Company director Steve Smith added: We are a purpose led business – run by competitors and motorsport professionals who are genuinely passionate about motorsport and the environment. Our sole purpose is to help protect motorsport and the environment – making both sustainable for future generations to enjoy, with an affordable, and easy to use high quality offsetting service."
A special discount code - MR22CS - has been created to use on our website, which will be available for all competitors and spectators to use to carbon offset their competition and event related travel with prices starting from 14 pence per litre.
It only costs a little to make a big difference for the sport, so whether you're a competitor or spectator, why not join with us to help make motorsport sustainable.
