Carbon Offsetting
What's the problem?
Simply put, we are damaging the planet and losing the battle against global
warming as a result of activities such as air travel. Did you know that
travel-related activities account for up to 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions that
affect global warming? Or that every time you fly, your portion of the flight
emits, on average, nearly a ton of greenhouse gasses?
What's the solution?
Of course, there are many benefits to travel, including experiencing new
cultures, seeing the natural beauty of a country, and trying the delicacies of a
region; so we are by no means suggesting that people stop traveling. What we are
suggesting is that when you have to get somewhere by air, you help counteract
the negative environmental impact of your air travel by purchasing carbon
offsets.
By purchasing carbon offsets you are supporting
renewable energy projects designed to reverse the damage we do to the planet
through travel-related activities. To help us with this, we have partnered with
Sustainable Travel International (STI), a non-profit organization, to offset the
greenhouse gases emitted from our trips to Europe.
How can I help?
We
ask you to consider offsetting your flights to and from the starting point of
your customized trip to the Mediterranean. It's simple and surprisingly
inexpensive. It's an easy way to help our environment and feel good about how
you travel.
