flight Carbon Emissions and Travel If you are worried about your carbon footprint then you may be concerned about travelling on holiday, and what carbon emissions this will contribute to the atmosphere.

Unfortunately although plane journeys are the quickest and cheapest way to travel long distances abroad they do have the highest carbon footprint, but there are a few ways you can help to offset this, and still allow you to enjoy the benefits of affordable travel:

  • Carbon Neutral – this website helps you to calculate your carbon footprint, and offset it by buying goods that contribute to projects that aim to reduce and soak up carbon emissions such as tree planting and green energy research and development.
  • Climate Care – this website will also help you to offset your carbon footprint by providing a number of projects you can contribute to that help to address the balance of emissions such as rainforest management and funding for low energy light bulbs in developing countries.
