Carbon Offset Services

Each time you fly, you are contributing to global warming. Aeroplanes use kerosene, which is a non-renewable fossil fuel that releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as it burns. It is now possible to pay a small sum of money to balance out your share of your flight's emissions. This money is used to fund projects that absorb, reduce or avoid an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases elsewhere. This is called an 'offset' and by taking this action you are helping to repair your impact on the climate. Once you have taken the decision to fly, it is much better to offset the emissions than to do nothing.

More information on companies providing 'carbon offset' services are listed below, whereby for a fee they will invest in carbon-saving schemes such as tree planting or renewable energy projects which will offset any unavoidable carbon emissions and calculate the costs.
