TerraPass | Fight climate change, reduce your carbon footprint

TerraPass | Fight climate change, reduce your carbon footprint 

Just bought carbon offsets for myself and my girlfriend's plane travel in 2014. 18,000 miles for about $47.

They capture gas from landfills, erect wind turbines (to replace the need for fossil fuel energy), etc.

It's $5.95 for 1000 lbs of offsets.

For example, a cross country, non-stop flight: Los Angeles, CA ↔ New York, NY

Round trip (4,936 miles)
Direct flight

1,925 lbs CO2

So for $11.90 you offset the pollution for one person from the jet (2000 lbs of offsets).

I just bought a gift of offsets for 10 friends going from LAX to Dallas for the UCLA - Texas game.

This is pretty cool. Ought to be worked in the price of tickets on the front end.
