Saving Our Planet by Offsetting Carbon Emissions

Each time we fly, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) are released into the atmosphere. The effect of these emissions on global climate change will almost certainly be the biggest environmental impact of any holiday, but there are ways of offsetting the greenhouse gases emitted each time you fly.

To offset the emissions from your share of your holiday flight, you simply need to contribute between £5 and £20 per person to Climate Care. Climate Care is a service that specialises in offsetting CO₂ emissions through energy efficiencies and by renewable energy and reforestation projects around the world. Visit their website to find out more about Climate Care and to calculate the relevant emissions from your flight.

How you can help It costs less than £1 per person per hour of flying time to offset your flight emissions so for your peace of mind and to help our planet, please contribute to Climate Care. Then you can enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that you've done what you can to mitigate the negative effects of your trip.

We are offsetting too! At Classic Collection Holidays, our staff travel widely to research new destinations, to contract and inspect all our hotels, and for training purposes. During each year we spend more than 500 hours flying to current and new destinations. To offset the emissions from our staff flights for 2006, we offset in excess of 70 tonnes of CO₂ by contributing more than £500 to Climate Care's project portfolio.
