The Traveller's Guide To Carbon Offsetting Your Flights
Sustainable Travel
When it comes to flying and climate change, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But there is something you can do to offset the emissions from your flight and help reduce your impact on the planet.
Carbon offsets. You have heard those words uttered in news reports, glossed over them in a magazine and seen the term when considering flights, but what does it really mean? And is it worth buying into? For instance: Book a flight and you’ll usually get the option to pay to offset your carbon emissions. In essence, your contribution funds tree planting and other projects intended to counterbalance the carbon you emit. It’s a clever marketing ploy. But carbon offsets are a dangerous distraction from the need to reduce emissions.
