Carbon Offset

AirplaneForest
To mitigate against the carbon dioxide released into the high atmosphere through your air travel we commit £10 per client to Rainforest Concern. Rainforests have a central role to play in the slowing of climate change and yet we are removing forests from the planet at a faster rate than they can grow back.

It is thus axiomatic to try and preserve the forests that we have rather than replanting.

This is not mere atonement over our aircraft addiction; the destruction of rainforests is already the largest single source of carbon emissions after energy, contributing up to 10 times as much as aviation.

The Stern Report, no less, warned that rainforest destruction alone would, in the next four years, release more carbon into the atmosphere than every flight from the dawn of aviation until 2025.

Why Rainforest Concern
Rainforest Concern was established in 1993 to protect threatened natural habitats, the biodiversity they contain and the indigenous people who still depend on them for their survival.

Central to Rainforest Concern's philosophy is the establishment of strong partnerships with small yet dynamic organisations in the countries where it operates. Such long-term partnerships have repeatedly shown to result in the continued success of their conservation projects in 11 countries in Latin America and Asia.

Why Rainforests:
- They regulate our climate
- They help to prevent soil erosion
- They provide a home for indigenous people
- They are the richest and most diverse habitats on earth
- They represent a vast reservoir of knowledge and contain a wealth of ecosystems and wildlife, with many species still undiscovered.
