Vegan Travelling

If you’re a vegan, the likelihood is that you probably care more about nature and the environment than most other people in the UK. You want to make the vegan lifestyle applicable to your whole life, but sometimes that isn’t easy. When it comes to cars, however, there are things you can do to ease your conscience. If you’re ready to buy a new car, then maybe it’s time to give the old one away.

Of course, if your old car has real value, then it makes financial sense to trade it in or sell it privately, but if the value is negligible, then disposing of it in an environmentally sound way can be a bit of a headache these days.

Not any more, though, it seems. The UK social enterprise (a business which exists purely to help fund good social causes like charities) Giveacar makes sure that any value left in your old banger is realised for charity.

And the organisation makes sure the car is dealt with in a way which is best for the environment. Any proceeds generated by your old car go to the charity of your choice. Over the last two years Giveacar has managed to raise over £350k for 450 charities.

Family cars which are still roadworthy but whose value has fallen to such a level that it is
relatively unimportant to you are particularly sought after by Giveacar. Such vehicles are always in demand and achieve a reasonable re-sale value so, of course, the indirect donation you’re making to your chosen charity is maximised.

Equally important are environmental concerns. Giveacar makes sure that your old car is recycled to the highest environmental standards.

Then when choosing your replacement – why not go even greener with an environmentally friendly vehicle such as an all-electric vehicle or hybrid? It may cost a bit more to begin with, but will save you money in the long run – and be better for the environment. And by the time you come to say goodbye to that one – the cars available will be even more beneficial for the environment.
