Vancouver Hotel Joins Ranks of World’s First Carbon Neutral Hotels
Published February 1st, 2007
Wedgewood Hotel and Spa in Vancouver, British Columbia has entered into an agreement with Planktos Inc. to purchase sufficient carbon credits to make the Wedgewood 'Carbon Neutral' and zero out all its CO2 emissions.
Each Planktos carbon credit represents one tonne of CO2 that has been removed from the air and sequestered - put away - for a long, long time. Planktos produces these credits by restoring vital ecosystems on land and in the sea.
The entire Wedgewood Hotel operation has been estimated to generate approximately 500 tonnes of CO2 annually based upon its total energy consumption, and the Wedgewood has contracted to purchase 5,000 tonnes of carbon credits or a 10-year supply.
