San Diego's Only Eco-Friendly Transport Firm Reduces Carbon Footprint with Every Trip

Online, December 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - San Diego, CA----As San Diego's only carbon negative private transportation company, Terramoto offers executive-level services utilizing hybrid motor vehicles while at the same time, creating a positive impact on the environment by donating a dollar from every trip to plant a tree. Combining an eco-friendly approach to the transportation business translates into economically advantageous rates for customers and the benefit of enhanced earth-friendly surroundings for the community. The concept for the modern day private transportation company, Terramoto is derived from the combination of terra for "terra firma" (the planet) and moto, which means rapid movement.

According to CEO and co-founder, Quentin Sponselee, "Our goal is to leave the lowest environmental impact possible. In order to do that, we decided our vehicles would have to be a hybrid. After considering factors such as rear passenger seat legroom, bench space, cargo capacity, fuel economy and vehicle purchase price, the Toyota Prius was the perfect fit. Particularly with our service in North County that has widespread terrain, the Prius is half the price of a Lincoln Town car and gets three times the gas mileage. We intend to make our entire current fleet ultra low emission and eventually --- when technology allows --- 100% emission free. To take things a step further, we contribute one dollar out of every trip to an organization that plants protected trees in order to offset our carbon footprint completely. In fact, we net a negative carbon footprint, a first in transportation history."

Terramoto is a full service transportation company that provides airport meet and greets, curbside pick ups and drop offs, point-to-point transfers and hourly charters. They also offer hybrid Toyota Highlanders for larger group transportation needs. The company is a charter member of the New Environmentally Responsible Alliance of Transportation (New ERA of Transportation), a green transportation coalition whose members are committed to ensuring their day-to-day operations maintain environmentally friendly practices.
