Offset your emissions

Go to this great site and offset your emissions.

Offsetting means paying someone to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere by the same amount that your activities add. In this way you can 'neutralise' or 'balance' the CO2 added by your activities.

Climate Care offsets your CO2 by funding projects around the world. These can be in:

Renewable energy – this replaces non-renewable fuel such as coal
Energy efficiency – this reduces the amount of fuel needed
Forest restoration – this absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere as the trees grow

The so-called "green tax" on flights which is adding money to your cheap flights may well have you thinking you are doing some good... but we all know it is going to the treasury and doing nothing to offset the impact of carbon emissions you are giving off on your flight. Make a real difference for the cost of buying a drink at the bar... or at the most... a round. You are going on a holiday... you CAN afford it. It's only right.
