Offset Your Carbon Footprint.
Restore a Rainforest.
Our flight emissions calculator computes your share of carbon dioxide emissions from a flight and the number of trees needed to offset it. A donation to Saving Nature not only offsets you carbon emissions, it also restores habitat for threatened and endangered species.
Your carbon offset will be used to restore a rainforest in Sumatra by funding the purchase, restoration, and protection of a vital wildlife corridor for elephants and other species. Maintaining connectivity will help ensure that wildlife can move freely, preventing populations from becoming isolated. Without this corridor, increasing human development will further sever the connections between forest blocks, impeding wildlife movement and undermining their resiliency.
DonateThe Math:
1. Flight carbon dioxide emissions are based on 90 kg. of CO2 per passenger each hour, an 80 percent flight occupancy rate, and a radiative forcing factor of 2.
2. Each hectare of forest we restore soaks up an average of about 20 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Our cost per hectare varies, but averages around $2,000.
3. A single NASA space shuttle launch produces an estimated 28 tons of carbon dioxide.
