Liftshare is announced as Climate Week Award Finalist

The UK’s leading car-sharing network, Liftshare, is delighted to announce its place as a finalist in the Best Business category of the 2014 Climate Week Awards.

The award recognises the most innovative, ambitious and effective UK-based business that helps individuals and organisations live more sustainably and has a noticeable positive impact on climate change.  The winner will be announced during Climate Week at a ceremony in London on 4^th March 2014.

Climate Week is Britain’s biggest climate change campaign, inspiring a new wave of action to create a sustainable future. Culminating in a week of activities, it showcases practical solutions from every sector of society.  And it’s so easy to get involved.

Each year, half a million people from schools, businesses, charities, councils and communities attend 3,000 events in Britain’s biggest ever environmental occasion.

During Climate Week, which runs from 3^rd – 9^th March, Liftshare will be encouraging its clients, members and the great British public to pledge to make a change that will have a positive impact on our environment.  Liftshare members alone save 100,000 tonnes of CO2 each year simply by sharing car journeys.  But there are still an estimated 38 million empty car seats travelling around the UK each day, meaning hundreds of thousands of cars could be taken off the road if we all registered our journeys on Liftshare and started to share.
