Ua kūʻai aku ʻo Air New Zealand a me kāna mea kūʻai aku ma mua o ka NZD $ 1 miliona o ke kalepona kalapona mai nā papahana ulu lāʻau ʻōiwi mau o Nūhōlani ma o ka papahana hoʻolele kalapona manawaleʻa ʻo FlyNeutral.

Hoʻomaka hou ʻia ka papahana ma ka hopena o 2016 e hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku o ka mokulele i ke koho e offset i nā hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ke kalapona e pili pū me kā lākou huakaʻi ke hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana ma ka pūnaewele. ʻO nā kālā i hōʻiliʻili ʻia a pau e hele pololei i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā hōʻaiʻē kalapona i hōʻoia ʻia, e kōkua ana e hemo i ke kalapona mai ke lewa.

Kūʻai ʻia nā hōʻaiʻē Carbon mai kahi mau o nā papahana ulu lāʻau kūloko mau i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia me ke Aupuni Nūhōlani ma lalo o ka Permanent Forest Sink Initiative, a mai kahi lima o nā hoʻolālā ikehu kūwaho kūwaho. Aia nā ululāʻau ma ʻō a ma Nūhōlani, mai Northland, a i ka mokupuni ʻo Chatham, a i ka ʻaoʻao ʻOuter Green Belt o Wellington City a me ka waihona ʻo Hinewai ma ka Peninsula ʻo Banks.

Wahi a ke poʻo o ke kākoʻo ʻo Air New Zealand ʻo Lisa Daniell ua hauʻoli ʻo ia ua hiki i ka mokulele ke hāʻawi i kahi papahana no nā mea kūʻai aku e lawe i ke kuleana nui no ka offsetting carbon emissions a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka ulu lāʻau ma New Zealand.

"Ua hauʻoli mākou i ka ʻike ʻana i ka papahana i kēia pae kiʻekiʻe mua loa me ke kākoʻo o kā mākou mea kūʻai aku. ʻO ka loli kahi pilikia nui o ka honua, a ma ke ʻano he mokulele ʻike mākou he pono mākou e pāʻani i kā mākou ʻāpana i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā hopena. Ke hāʻawi nei i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku me kahi ala maʻalahi e offset i nā emissions kalapona e pili ana i ka huakaʻi ea kekahi ala e hana ai i kēia.

"E like me kekahi o kēia nui, he ʻanuʻu ia i ke ala kūpono. I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoopau makou i 8,700 tona kalapona ma ka inoa o na limahana a pau i hele no ka hana, a makemake makou e ike i na huakai hou aku, e like me ka poe huakai kalepa, e hui pu me makou i ka hoopau ana i ko lakou hookui ana i keia mua aku.

ʻO Permanent Forests ʻO NZ Partner ʻo Ollie Belton e ʻōlelo nei e kōkua ana ka papahana FlyNeutral a Air New Zealand e hana i kahi mākeke ʻoi aku ka ikaika no ka ulu lāʻau ʻōiwi mau a kūkulu i ka ʻike ʻoi aku ka nui e pili ana i ka nui o ka hana ʻana i New Zealand ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana.

"ʻO nā papahana ulu lāʻau ʻōiwi i koho ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma loko o ka waihona FlyNeutral e hōʻike ana i nā offset kalapona uku pālua a ʻoi aku me ke kōkua ʻana e hōʻemi i nā hopena o ke aniau, hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka mālama ʻana a hoʻonui pū i nā mālama kaiāulu a me nā mālama leʻaleʻa ma muli o kā lākou paʻa mau. Maikaʻi loa ka hana pū ʻana me Air New Zealand a me nā mea ʻona i hiki ke ʻike a kākoʻo i kēia mau papahana. ”

ʻO ka papahana ʻo FlyNeutral manawaleʻa kalapona manawaleʻa ʻoihana mokulele i ʻoi aku ma luna a ʻoi aku o nā kuleana no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ke kalapona ma lalo o ka New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, kahi a Air New Zealand ponoʻī e hui ai.

Ma muli o ka hiki i ka hui ʻoihana a me nā mea kūʻai aku o ke aupuni ʻo 2018 Air Newset ke hoʻoliʻiliʻi i kā lākou mau ea kūmole ma lalo o ka papahana. Hoʻopau pū ka mokulele i nā mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka inoa o kāna mau limahana e hele nei no ka hana.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Wahi a ke poʻo o ke kākoʻo ʻo Air New Zealand ʻo Lisa Daniell ua hauʻoli ʻo ia ua hiki i ka mokulele ke hāʻawi i kahi papahana no nā mea kūʻai aku e lawe i ke kuleana nui no ka offsetting carbon emissions a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka ulu lāʻau ma New Zealand.
Carbon credits are purchased from a range of permanent native forest projects registered with the New Zealand Government under the Permanent Forest Sink Initiative, and from a handful of international sustainable energy projects.
Last year we offset 8,700 tonnes of carbon on behalf of all our employees who travelled for work, and we'd obviously love to see even more travelers, including business travelers, join us in offsetting their emissions in the future.
