There was a time when I thought travelling was glamorous, to be very specific around the time I moved to Denmark and regularly began walking the halls of airports. Now it’s only hateful with hordes of people, who often seem to have no idea of where to find their gates, and the romance is long gone. And to add to the nuisance I feel worse about the environmental aspect of my flying back and forth, as well.
To my great surprise it doesn’t have to cost a small farm to compensate for the emission caused if one is to use the service of The CarbonNeutral Company. For instance a round trip between Copenhagen and Helsinki, which is around 1900 km, would cause a production of 0.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide and thereby lead to a sum of less than 5€ to invest in one of the company’s current projects. The money one invests is used in the development of renewable-energy projects and such.
The CarbonNeutral Company has counters for not only air travel but also other kinds of travel and homes.
