Clean up the sky after your vacation: reduce your carbon footprint with WayAway ✈️ You’ve all heard that сlimate change is our new reality. Traveling with no impact on planets’ ecosystems doesn’t exist, that’s an unavoidable fact. According to Sustainable Travel International, traveling contributes around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with nearly half (49%) of the industry’s footprint coming from transport alone. WayAway has launched ‘A Green Way To Travel’ initiative to help in reducing the carbon footprint damage of flying by purchasing carbon credits 💪 👉 What does ‘carbon credit’ mean? Every traveller leaves behind a carbon footprint. Purchasing carbon credits is an easy option to compensate the harm caused by CO2 emissions. These units represent an amount offsetted or absorbed CO2 (1 credit = 1 ton of CO2). Carbon credits are a fast, environmentally friendly and systematic way to help the environment. And of course the advantage is that you don’t need to deny your self traveling pleasure, while helping in reducing carbon footprint damage. 👉 How it works in real life Imagine you are finally heading on a weekend trip, going from your home in NYC to Paris and returning back with bags full of cheese and wine. A 1st class economy round trip NY-Paris-NY for one passenger has taken almost 7,500 miles and emitted 0.66 tons of CO2 (based on the ICAO calculator). Let's check your spendings: airtickets, Ibis Paris Porte de Bercy hotel room with breakfasts and renting a car to visit Versaille. You use a saved cashback amount to help in reducing the carbon footprint damage. A $15 donation becomes $30 with a WayAway magic trick, and this amount approximately equals 0.77 tons of subsequently absorbed CO2. This donation helps save the Amazon forests, commonly called ‘The Lungs Of The Planet’ and one of the most huge and diverse ecosystems in Latin America 💙
