Enterprise will be strategically planting trees in National Parks that have been damaged due to national conditions. Enterprise also has a more popular program that every customer sees which is the Carbon Offset Program where each customer has the option to pay $1.25 which goes toward removing the carbon footprint of a rental car. Enterprise has already had over 220,000 customers use this package and they plan on increasing that number enough to help remove 30 million pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere. Using FlexFuel technology is another great thing that Enterprise has been doing, maximizing the ability to burn ethanol has been saving the environment and consumer’s money since the program started in 2007.
