Carbon offsetting Motorised travel by air, ground and sea are all major contributors to carbon emissions and thus to climate change. We encourage everyone who is undertaking any motorised travel to participate in the World March for Peace and Nonviolence to offset their carbon footprint through tree planting and/or by contributing to carbon credit programmes or environmental projects which are working to offset carbon emissions. The World March for Peace and Nonviolence will ensure that the carbon emissions from its core team will be offset. We will also be promoting - and involved in - tree plantings, environmental projects and other carbon offset programmes en route. Calculate your carbon footprint for your Here is a sample of the many calculators now available online to calculate your carbon footprint from travel by road and air.
Contribute to environmental projects: There are numerous environmental projects which contribute to carbon reductions either be reducing carbon emissions (such as alternative energy projects) or by increasing carbon-sinks (such as tree planting). Here are some to which you could contribute (or join in their tree plantings and other projects):
Contribute to carbon credit/offset programmes: Companies, governments, or other entities buy carbon offsets in order to comply with caps on the total amount of carbon dioxide they are allowed to emit. Some of these entities provide programmes for consumers to voluntarily contribute to their carbon offsets. Typically the credits are then transferred in the form of financial support to projects that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. The most common project type is renewable energy, such as wind farms, biomass energy, or hydroelectric dams. When you book your flight, ask about contributing to the airline’s carbon credit programme. Many airlines now include this as part of their online reservation process. Other ways to reduce your carbon footprint Eat less meat. Get on your bike, Wash clothes in cold water. For more ideas see WWF Take Action and Sustainable Living Action |
