Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is known to be a greenhouse gas, a gas which traps the heat of the Sun causing the temperature of the Earth to rise - global warming.
Air travel contributes to this environmental threat more than any other form of public transport. Planes produce far more CO2 and also, they release the gases high in the atmosphere. So every time you travel by plane you add to the climate change.
What can you do?
Climate Care offers a service that helps you to repair the damage your activities do to the climate. It does this by ‘offsetting' the greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, from your activities by reducing an equivalent amount of CO2 on your behalf. These reductions are made through a range of projects in renewable energy and energy efficiency, which not only fight climate change but bring benefits to communities round the world.
Use this carbon calculator to offset the emissions of your flight.
Similarly you can offset emissions from your driving and household energy use. If you are interested in doing that or to find out more about the projects please visit www.climatecare.org
