A Flight TerraPass is an innovative way to counterbalance the global warming impact of your flying. Planes use a lot of fuel. A cross-country flight burns more than 100 gallons of fuel per passenger. Airline travel already creates a significant proportion of the world's global warming pollution, and it's growing faster than any other single source. The best way to reduce those emissions is to cut back on unnecessary trips, or to use more fuel-efficient transportation for short trips. But when you have to fly, you can use a Flight TerraPass to balance out your impact. How does a Flight TerraPass work?
Your purchase of a Flight TerraPass results in reductions in carbon dioxide emissions elsewhere, by funding industrial efficiency and renewable energy projects such as wind farms. Renewable energy from wind reduces carbon dioxide emissions by displacing power generated from fossil fuels. And industrial efficiency projects reduce carbon dioxide emissions through conservation. In this way, your Flight TerraPass results in a guaranteed reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, balancing out the global warming impact of your flying. How do we calculate your flight emissions?
For every trip you add to your set of flights using our flight emissions calculator, we determine the number of miles between your origin and destination. We then multiply those miles by an average fuel efficiency per passenger. The resulting calculation is an estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide emissions directly attributable to your flying. See details here. How can you be sure the reductions are real?
TerraPass is independently audited by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS). CRS is the leading certification agency in the renewable energy market. This audit verifies that TerraPass member funds go to the stated purpose and has the stated impact. TerraPass is the only organization in our industry to go through this verification process. TerraPass also provides a money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, just let us know. We'll issue a prompt refund, no questions asked.
