Air travel leads to
emissions of CO2. Your next trip therefore contributes to global warming
which is a serious threat to our planet. As a traveler, you have been to
many countries and therefore know how beautiful this planet is. We hope
you agree with us that we need to treat our planet with a little more
respect so that our future generations can still appreciate this
wonderful world we live in.
Climate Care is an
organization that allows you to help offset your CO2 emissions. This is
how it works. Say you are flying from Bangkok to London. This trip will
produce 1.39 tons of CO2. Now you can donate money to Climate Care and
they will use your money to plant trees which eliminate the CO2 you
produced. So your trip is carbon neutral and won't affect the planet.
Great, isn't it? On their website, you can calculate how much emissions
your next trip will produce and how much it costs of offset your
emissions. You can then donate this money to Climate Care. However, if
you wish you may also donate this money to a local charity here in
Thailand.
If you would like to find
out more about this topic, may we suggest you visit the homepage of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
