Carbon Offsets from Air Travel

Invest in Our Future

I fly about miles per year, which produces about 0 tons of CO₂ per year.

I will purchase carbon offsets for these emissions at a cost of dollars per metric ton.

Flying produces 223 grams of CO₂ per passenger mile.
Indirect emissions (from contrails and other atmospheric effects) produce 1x direct emissions.

Cross Boundaries: The act of reducing or avoiding GHG emissions in one place can "offset" GHG emissions occurring somewhere else. Offsets can go toward projects such as financing a wind turbine in Asia, a solar roof-top in Africa or a reforestation program in South America.
Ripple Effect: In addition to reducing net greenhouse gas emissions, carbon offset projects may also have additional co-benefits, such as increasing economic and social development, encouraging more sustainable technologies and providing additional environmental benefits, such as improving water quality and other ecological services in forests.
