Land Rover Las Vegas expects that its CO2 Neutral initiative will enable the Fund to plant about 12,000 trees each year (about 24 trees per vehicle).

"Land Rover, as a company, is working to improve its fuel efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint two important steps in an effort to reduce global greenhouse gasses," said Ray DiNardi, General Manager of Land Rover Las Vegas.
