Kushner & Associates is very conscientious of the environmental impact of bus transportation and is at the forefront of the “greening” of the charter transportation industry by:
Encouraging our partner bus companies to recycle their paper, plastic, ink cartridges, wastewater from wash racks, engine oil, etc. Our bus company partners also use green cleaning chemicals in their offices as well as in the motor coaches. Some of our partners go the extra mile and use the recycled engine oil to heat their offices. Using caterers that work with local growers, businesses, etc. to reduce fuel and emissions used to import food. There are also some great new recyclable plates, flatware and cups on the market. Purchasing Carbon Off-Sets to reduce your overall carbon footprint.
