How To Offset Carbon When Travelling

Are you wondering how to offset carbon when travelling? Everyone has been awakened somewhat recently due to the COP 26 Conference in Glasgow.

Some airlines make it easy for you. They offer carbon offsetting right as you are buying your ticket online.  Air Canada, British Airways, Delta, Emirates, Qantas, amoung others, are such airlines.

Here are a few companies that help you to calculate and pay to offset your carbon emissions:

• Terrapass is a company that allows you to calculate your carbon usage and then pay for offsets.  The company is a multi-disciplinary team of individuals dedicated to the fight against climate change.  Their mission is to provide the resources necessary to understand and take responsibility for climate impact.

Terrapass funds projects that destroy greenhouse gases and produce renewable energy.  They are able to support these projects through the sale of carbon offsets.

Therefore, a company is able to meet the demand for climate friendly products and services. Offsetters have a full range of services that address your concerns and help find solutions for a sustainable future. One simple way is to calculate the annual emissions of your car and offset them with a CoolDrivePass.

There are many other companies that offer to offset carbon.  I suggest you do your homework and research supported projects or use the offsets offered by airlines.
