Offset As You GO-SIM!
We have partnered with one of the world's leading carbon offset organisations, Climate Care, to give you an easy way to offset as you travel.
Every time you make a purchase online, you will be offered the chance to make a contribution that will go directly to Climate Care. They will offset your carbon emissions for you, through a range of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, as well as benefiting communities around the world.
If you don't wish to contribute you can simply switch this option off. It's entirely up to you. It doesn't cost the earth to make a small contribution, but it just might if you don't!!
Why Offset?
If you watch the news, or read the newspapers, you will be aware of concerning levels of climate change on our planet. You may have seen images of polar ice caps melting and droughts in developing countries, causing crop failures and famines.
Every time you travel, particularly when flying, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. These gases are a major cause of climate change and your flights will have the biggest environmental impact on your trip.
We are not suggesting that we all stop traveling - far from it! But we do believe that it is each individual's responsibility to minimise their impact on the environment and one way of doing this is by offsetting carbon emissions generated from air travel.
This basically means that you can choose to make a contribution to the reduction of carbon dioxide, equal to the amount produced by your flight, effectively repairing or offsetting the damage caused to the climate by traveling.
