Your holiday flight
will have a negative environmental effect. Aeroplanes
travel in the upper atmosphere and release greenhouse-gas
emissions which contribute to global warming.
Climate Care is an organisation which enables you to
repair the damage. Your payment will fund projects that
reduce emissions by the same amount that your individual
share of the flight creates, making your presence ``climate
neutral.''
Climate Care does this by funding renewable-energy projects
or reforestation which either reduce emissions at source
or absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The work
of Climate Care is monitored by a non-government environmental
committee, including members such as the World Wildlife
Fund and Forum for the Future.
Find out how much your flight
adds to global warming and how much it costs to offset.
Then you can be confident in the belief that your journey
is not adding to global warming.
