With the growing concern for the environment and the effect that carbon emissions have, different airlines and organizations now offer passengers the possibility of offsetting their carbon emissions for their flight.

In the UK, British Airways was the first airline to offer a carbon offsetting scheme. Easyjet now also offers passengers the possibility to offset their carbon emissions.

How is Works

Passengers can pay an additional amount to the airline meant to offset their carbon emissions. With this money, the airlines invest in renewable energy sources and projects that support these initiatives. There are now also private organizations such as greenseat that actively promote programs that offset carbon emissions.
