Carbon offsets - Reduction in Carbon footprint

Air travel is unavoidable as we embark on global adventures, discovering new cultures and countries. A typical round-trip cross-country flight releases around 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per passenger. To reduce release of carbon-dioxide, make use of carbon offsets, which is an important part of green travel at Expedia.

By purchasing carbon offsets, you can fund a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions which is roughly equal to your output and counterbalance effects of air travel. Expedia has partnered with TerraPass, a leading carbon offset provider and help in easy reduction of carbon footprint. Expedia partner TerraPass has created carbon offset bundles based on distance you plan to fly, distance traveled can be short, cross-country or international.

These carbon offsets bundles created by TerraPass helps to provide clean energy and pollution free environment through carbon reduction projects. When you book flight on Expedia, it’s simple to add TerraPass carbon offsets. Each carbon offsets bundle funds:

Clean energy
TerraPass helps fund wind farms, which generate virtually carbon-free electricity, unlike conventional energy sources such as coal and natural gas.

Farm power
