Despite the increasing hassle of airports, many still choose air travel for holidays, and for business despite the ease and cost savings of online meetings.
Why is Greener Air Travel So important?
Because when we do fly – even in Economy - we create so much CO2 emissions.
We produce around 125 kg of CO2 per person for every hour of flight we take – which is the weight of a giant panda! Plant just 20 trees with us, both removes these CO2 emissions, restores nature and enables local families to keep out of poverty.
Almost weekly, we’re seeing News about how climate change is increasingly threatening humanity and wildlife. Increasing heat, drought, fires and floods are already leading to loss of livelihoods and increasing climate refugees. There is also growing awareness about how excess heat is increasing melting both arctic and antarctic ice, with the growing threat of unstoppable sea level rise.
Instead, we can all make a difference. Firstly by cutting our CO2 emissions. But what about the rest of our CO2 emissions? Planting more trees with us is an easy, low cost and a highly effective way to remove our CO2 emissions.
Did you know?
Quite extraordinary is that only 1% of people globally are responsible for over 50% of total aviation emissions. Also that 90% of people globally do not fly at all in any one year!
Flying Greener – how we can work together for a greener future
Because this is so disproportionate, surely it’s only fair that when we do fly, we take responsibility to remove our CO2 emissions?
This is where we can help. By planting trees in tropical countries, the trees grow fast so they remove CO2 quickly and at low cost, over the 20-40 year life of the trees. We will also offer Carbon Credits, for those who want the assurance of the highest levels of verification.
Tourism Boards, Airlines and Hotels
By taking a lead on greener travel, they can help keep their countries as green and wildlife-rich as in their glossy promotional photos. Step up to protect and preserve local natural beauty and ensure tourists keep coming. Contact us for further information and advice on how we can work together towards a greener, more sustainable future.
Travellers
Leave only footprints and take only photos? But what about your CO2 emissions?
Instead we can plant trees for every hour you fly.
“Money Trees?”
When you plant 50 trees with us, 1 day of work is generated, which empowers families to keep out of extreme poverty. Some communities may also be able to benefit from fruits from the trees. So, effectively we’re planting ”money trees.” Because they multiply the value of your donation more than ten-fold [1] over the life of the trees!
Do Our Bit to Reverse Global Warming
2024 was the first full year where temperatures breached the 1.5°C limit the World set in the Paris Agreement in 2016. Which is why 2025 needs to be the year we all do our bit to reverse this
