Being an eco-travelers, one of the things that are difficult to manage for the approach difficult to justify and is confusing as we can, without a trace of solid carbon fossil fuels to travel and some so our trip less impact on the planet.
When I, I realized my flight from United Airlines that my ticket had the motto:
Let the world a better place ™ - Carbon Offset Option
And then: Sustainable Travel International calculates that offset the amount of CO2 in this range, you can use € 3.01 or another amount.
United with Sustainable Travel International (STI), a non-profit organization, the global climate and environmental organization supports partnership. This gives customers the opportunity to make a contribution to offset their carbon dioxide emissions for the trip with United.
Sustainable Travel International is a company that helps make our mark on something sustainable.
Travel companies are facing a variety of challenges: to increase rising costs, means of escape and the pressure on the bar for sustainable farming practices to reduce impact on the environment.
The real question is what carbon offsetting and how it works?
According to researchers, one climate change is a reduction in emissions of carbon or greenhouse gases to compensate or offset an emission made elsewhere produced carbon dioxide.
The carbon "offsetting must particularly or participating in programs that reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. Many of these programs are the planting of trees, the most common measure, because plants grow climate, absorb carbon dioxide, removing it the atmosphere. Backend Other research in cleaner technologies or conventional alternatives. "
Other organizations that are Carbon Offsets:
Technology companies are challenges into opportunities. These industry leaders understand the long-term success requires that managers are serving goals, while showing how their actions make a difference, to attract customers and increase brand loyalty.
Here Sustainable Travel International is offering - (which is in collaboration with United Airlines):
- Sustainable solutions and tools to destinations DestinationsSustainability: assessment, planning, standards, marketing, sustainable destinations
- Partnerships They strategic partner with businesses of all sizes to the development and implementation of sustainable development initiatives and innovative practices that provide a measurable return on investment.
- STEP feasibility Step System Management provides the tools you need to design and implement its sustainability policy and action plans during the measurement and control its effects and verification efforts. The STEP program involves a series of components with specific industries developed in mind.
- Offset through carbon emissions and climate change programs, helping companies and destinations reduce side effects and mitigate the negative impacts, while protecting the investment in community initiatives and conservation objectives, the future generations.
- TrainingCustomized education, training and sensitization of stakeholders in programs that help build capacity in critical areas of sustainability management, while increasing buy-in for sustainability initiatives.
- Marketing and Sustainability CommunicationsIntegrate in your marketing strategy and product development, the. An increase in visitor numbers and a stronger brand loyalty
It is not for tourists, unless States provides a way to reduce the impact of how we achieve our environmental goals.
It is almost impossible to be "carbon neutral" by saving alone. To remove the last bit of carbon, it is necessary to be creative.
What is carbon neutral? Once you have measured their emissions and do everything possible to reduce it, while on the left side are offset by the purchase of credits from a carbon neutral company.
Climate neutrality is the process by which emissions from a source of carbon credits derived also compared. A carbon credit is a measure created to one tonne of CO2 avoided or eliminated, representing a project to reduce carbon. Emission credits can by enabling activities under the Clean Development Mechanism CDM projects, emissions in developing countries that can be marketed elsewhere reduce created projects are generated. There are two main markets for the buying and selling of carbon credits: voluntary and orderly.
Once you have measured your carbon footprint, you can decide what action to take to reduce your footprint. It can how to avoid the creation of programs in the first place. It may also be opportunities to reduce emissions from a particular activity. To be environmentally neutral, should be "compensated", so that the net emissions of their activities are any remaining emissions equivalent to zero.
Climate units are usually purchased by individuals or companies, and are used to cancel or "offset" that arise during the normal course of business and everyday life issues. Carbon credits are units representing the emission reductions or "reduction" of greenhouse gas emissions.
The reduction is achieved by:
- Reduction or avoidance of emissions - for example, through the use of renewable energies
- Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in soil or trees - for example, by growing a forest.
Reducing the amount of carbon emissions you produce is important for the planet and is green, but it is not always easy. You may not be able to check if your power plant that runs on coal or solar, for example (but certainly advocate of solar energy and make your home more energy efficient). Therefore, carbon offsetting has become so popular recently.
"Carbon offsetting is not the silver bullet for the problem of carbon emissions, because they often can not be answered to solve the underlying problem of tree planting, for example, only the existing carbon ;. No production reduce the same, that is, where the ultimate goal should. Yet his offsets Shopping help if you careful about the programs it supports are. "
Check with your travel agency, car rental and Airlines offer the most likely option to modify, reduce, or at least they reach a little help on the impact their target. Planes, trains or automobiles, there is a way to make your trip less impressive.
