Travelers Turn On to Offsetting their Climate Change Impacts

by Andreas Kristinus

Editor's Note: Travel causes the greatest amount of damage to our planet because of carbon emissions,but your travels can now be guilt-free and non-earth damaging. Every traveler or car driver can now easily become responsible for helping clean up the damage we each do individually. With one click, a couple of minutes, and a few dollars you can contribute to this earth- saving project, which calculates the carbon emissions for which you are responsible, and with your small contribution Sustainable Travel performs an equal earth-saving act to clean up the environment for you, so your travels can be guilt-free and non-earth damaging now.

Sustainable Travel International (STI), a Colorado-based nonprofit organization, today released the results from the first six months of testing a new service called myclimate™. Promoting `sustainable travel', STI brought together a service to offset climate impacts from travel and a travel agency that knows how to use it. The travel agency, United Fairfax Travel / American Express (UFX) from Fairfax, Virginia saw a large increase in new customers due to consumer demand for `guilt free' travel, at no additional cost.

Inherently the words “sustainable” and “travel” seem to be at odds due to the high amount of greenhouse gases caused by travel, so much so that the phrase “sustainable travel” almost deserves a window seat next to other oxymoronic phrases like “unbiased opinion,” “virtual reality,” and “working holiday.” It is true: air travel is a gargantuan greenhouse gas creator, with a jet emitting about one pound of carbon dioxide per passenger mile. Also true: even for the most conscientious consumer, travel is inevitable. That is why STI joined forces with UFX Travel to test the demand for offsetting the climate impact of air travel.

So just what is “climate impact neutral?” In short, over the past few years, projects emerged around the world that reduce climate damaging emissions and earn certificates that document the exact quantity of reduced emission units. These “certified emission reduction units” are sold on international markets, thus rewarding projects that earn these units by, for example, replacing dirty oil energy systems with solar panels. So now, everything from blue jeans to air travel can be made “climate impact neutral' by offsetting their climate impact with the purchase of emission reduction units. Simply click here:

Through the I CARE FOR myclimate™ program, UFX purchases offset units - for every ticket booked. Travelers can also upgrade to a full myclimate™ ticket and reduce their climate impact to zero for a small additional surcharge - typically between $5-10. Small cost considering it only takes about fifteen full myclimate™ tickets to finance say, the construction of an entire solar water heating system in Africa that replaces the need to burn virgin forest wood and import diesel fuel.

UFX's President, Andreas Kristinus, makes the decision to `go green' a no-brainer: "For every travel arrangement that is booked through MyClimate, my company dedicates a portion of the proceeds to help offset the emissions that are caused by your flight." Guilt free travel at no additional cost? You can just hear the loud talker, one aisle over saying, “Now that's the ticket!”
