Carbon offset your trip to All-Energy 2010
Offsetting is the only practical way that you can reduce your global warming pollution to zero. Travelling to Aberdeen for All-Energy 2010 will involve many exhibitors and visitors in flying. You may therefore want to opt for carbon offsetting.
- Find out why: www.carbontrust.co.uk/carbon/briefing/offsets.htm
- Read about the UK Government's voluntary Code of Best Practice for the offsetting industry www.defra.gov.uk/news/latest/2007/climate-0713.htm
- General information: ‘Carbon Counter - calculate your carbon footprint’, published January 2007 by Collins Gem low-price books. Author: Mark Lynas. Priced £4.99 – available from book shops and from www.amazon.co.uk
- Check the activities of the company for which you opt: a study funded by the United States-based non-profit organisation, Clean Air-Cool Planet, widely regarded as a leader in the field, gives only eight out of 30 providers of carbon "offsets" in the USA, UK, Germany and Ireland a score of more than five out of 10 for the service they offer in taking carbon out of the atmosphere. www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/ConsumersGuidetoCarbonOffsets.pdf

Companies operating from the UK
