Airlines
The Airline industry is one of the fastest growing sectors not only in travel, but in the world's economy. Over the next two decades 27,000 new aircrafts will be introduced into the existing fleet worldwide, and the number of people flying will increase to 9 billion! With that kind of growth it will be extremely important for airlines to start taking responsibility for their fossil fuel usage, their waste disposal, and the size of their carbon footprints.

Some airlines have already started taking responsibility by offering carbon offset programs to customers, recycling cabin waste, investing in alternative fuel research, reducing noise pollution, and conserving fuel through plane modifications and optimizing flight routes. One of the easiest things you can do to be a part of the solution, is to offset the carbon from your flights.

Carbon Offsetting
There are 2 types of carbon offsetting programs, and although neither one is perfect they definitely help.  Pro-active programs usually help fund renewable energy sources and look to solutions for a cleaner future. These programs usually focus on supporting clean energy and its progression, in the form of wind power, solar power, hydroelectric power and biofuel. The re-active offset programs help to offset pollution that has already been expelled into the atmosphere. These programs focus on planting trees which will consume the carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere now, to help clean up the mess we make daily.

We suggest offsetting your carbon footprint with Sustainable Travel International and MyClimate.  Their program is the best we've seen in that it's comprehensive and supports both kinds of offsets.  They'll let you calculate your exact offset, or you can choose a standard donation from $1 all the way up to $500.  CLICK HERE or on the logo below to learn more or to offset your footprint now.
