Biofuels - A Way To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint


Biofuels are fuels that are produced from biological sources such as trees, plants or micro-organisms. They are carbon neutral, because they do not result in fossil carbon being released into the atmosphere. All of the carbon contained in a biofuel was absorbed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis in plants, just a few months or years earlier. This means that when you burn a biofuel, you simply release the carbon back into the atmosphere, and have no overall effect on atmospheric CO2 levels. When we think about the environment today, we realise that we need to insure the planet's future the same way we insure ourselves. As companies like Aviva can't possibly insure the welfare of the planet, it's up to us to do our best to combat global warming, and it's simple to start at home. By using biofuels, we can reduce carbon emissions, and help the atmosphere retain its stability, making the world a better place. Read More
