Travel green with TerraPass and ASLA

The 2008 ASLA Annual Meeting & EXPO will be ASLA’s greenest meeting yet! ASLA has partnered with TerraPass to provide meeting attendees a convenient and affordable way to offset their carbon dioxide emissions as they travel to and from the meeting in Philadelphia.

Since travel is a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, annual meeting attendees are encouraged to offset their travel arrangements by purchasing a TerraPass. Help make the 2008 meeting our greenest ever.

Why buy a TerraPass?

Planes use a lot of fuel – about a gallon per second for a large jet. Aviation makes up the most rapidly growing source of the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming.

There's no such thing as a hybrid plane (yet), but there's still something you can do: balance the greenhouse gas emissions from your flying by funding an equivalent reduction elsewhere. Through TerraPass, you can sponsor high-quality emissions reduction strategies such as farm power projects.

How it works

Your TerraPass purchase funds greenhouse gas reduction projects such as dairy farm methane digesters.

TerraPass empowers individuals to balance out their global warming impact from driving, flying and home energy use by funding clean energy projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Each TerraPass purchase is verified on two levels: every greenhouse gas reduction project is verified by an independent environmental auditor, and every TerraPass offset purchase and marketing claim is verified by an annual third-party audit which we publish on our website.

TerraPass channels its resources to get the maximum environmental benefit from every purchase. We are the leading consumer retailer of voluntary carbon offsets. Together TerraPass customers have reduced over 900 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, the leading cause of global warming.

All TerraPass projects adhere to stringent industry standards, and TerraPass itself is audited by an outside party to ensure the integrity of our environmental projects.
