And how &#8217;bout those carbon neutral journeys? The Toyota Prius emits 1\/2 the carbon dioxide of a regular car, and Venture works with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatmundi.fr\/lng_EN_srub_3-Home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Climat Mundi<\/a> to offset the miniscule amounts of carbon dioxide that do manage to slip out to fund international eco-projects.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Verture&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/ecoscraps.com\/2008\/09\/10\/eco-cabs-makes-dublin-transport-free-of-charge-free-of-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">eco-chic car service <\/a>is only available in Paris for the moment, but this is good news for incoming visitors. Verture calculates the cost of your voyage based on the mileage of the overall trip- they don&#8217;t use meters and they announce the cost of your trip when you make a reservation. A one-way trip from Paris CDG will cost you 55 euros- the same as a normal cab (unless he decides to take you on a &#8220;special route&#8221; to see &#8220;La Tour Eiffel&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about Venture on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verture.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, or book a reservation by calling +33.1.48.00.91.91 [social_buttons]<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/paopix\/\" target=\"_blank\">Compound Eye<\/a> under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Common&#8217;s License<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environmentally-Friendly Car Service is the New Black A new Parisian company called Verture would like you to take a green turn away from your standard taxi service.
