Carbon Offsets
Breathing easier: it’s everyone’s concern as global carbon levels increasingly affect climate change. For all its benefits, international air travel emits a lot of carbon. You can offset some of your environmental impact by determining the carbon level emitted by your flight, then purchasing shares in carbon offset programs such as reforestation projects and renewable energy technology development. It costs just $5.50 per metric ton to offset your footprint.

Why partner with Carbonfund.org?

Asia Transpacific Journeys chose Carbonfund.org over other carbon offsetting organizations for a number of reasons:

1) Carbonfund.org is a non-profit, registered a 501(c)3.

2) Carbonfund.org is the most economical of the large carbon offset organizations. By keeping their administrative expenses to a minimum (below 5% of total donations), Carbonfund.org can pass more of your donation through to the projects that will curb global warming.

3) Carbonfund.org allows you to decide whether you want to help finance:

• renewable energy (wind farms and solar technologies) or,

• energy efficiency (reducing energy use by using better technology) or,

• reforestation (the buying and planting of trees to convert CO2).

4) Carbonfund.org is a leading partner of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s “Green Power Network” and works with over 150 corporate and non-profit partners, including Dell Computers, Lancôme Cosmetics, Ovation Travel Group, Working Assets and the National Wildlife Federation.
