Offset Travel Carbon Footprint
A round-trip economy class flight from London to Colombo and back typically emits around 3.5 metric tons of CO₂ per passenger. On average, one acre of tropical rainforest can sequester about 1.5 metric tons of CO₂ per year. Approximately 0.12 acres of tropical rainforest can offset the 3.5 metric tons of CO₂ in 20 years.
Use the table below to offset your carbon footprint of air travel to Colombo. Note: Acres needed calculated based on carbon sequestrated by a tropical rainforest in 20 years timeframe.
| CO₂ emitted | Rainforest Area Needed | Cost to Protect | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| From London | 3.5 metric tons | 0.13 Acres | $250 | Donate to Offset |
| From New York | 6.7 metric tons | 0.25 Acres | $500 | Donate to Offset |
