carbon offset flights
In January 2007, we introduced Carbon Offset Flights. The emissions from these flights are calculated and the cost of offsetting is included in the price quoted. That means that every time you book a Carbon Offset Flight through us, you fly with the knowledge that your environmental impact has been reduced.
We're excited to say that an amazing number of Intrepid travellers have chosen to book our Carbon Offset Flights. In the first year alone our travellers offset 18,700 tonnes of carbon. In 2008, we offset a further 23,500 tonnes. That means Intrepid's travellers will have offset carbon emissions that equal the equivalent of approximately taking over 7,100 cars off the road for an entire year!*
Cleaner Climate - an international carbon solutions firm provides offsets for Intrepid's Carbon Offset Flights through a portfolio of Kyoto compliant projects. These projects promote energy efficiency or produce renewable energy within disadvantaged communities in developing countries and also provide multiple co-benefits in addition to environmental improvement.
*This calculation is based on the information provided through Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries average carbon emissions emitted by a light vehicle in 2007 and the 2007 ABS Average Kilometres Travelled in Australia.
