There are now hundreds of these organisations and surely some of 'em are questionable. How to find out whom you can trust? ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network Community for sustainable transport

The money is used to help subsistence farmers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and indis to reverse damage caused by deforestation, drought and famine. 2) The Carbon Neutral Company :- www.carbonneutral.com Formerly 'Future forests', this is the best-established carbon-offset company in the UK. With support from bands such as Coldplay, it offers an impressive array of gifts, including carbon-free weedings and win-up mobile phone chargers! And it invests in projects worldwide, such as tree-planting and renewable energy. 3) The C-Change Trust : - www.thec-changetrust.com Set up in 2006, it offers carbon offsets by planting frees in the UK for community benefit. Thats all I know!

I've had a look at Atmosfair and its seems to be a credible organisation. I am trying to reduce my airmiles as much as possible. What really concerns me is the attitude of many travelers. Surely most of them are aware of the emissions caused by air travel, but seem not to care at all. ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network Community for sustainable transport

Its one of the Top 5 organisations listed. Carbon offsetting is to many of us a controversial issue. If airtravel cannot be avoided, joining a trustworthy scheme is a good alternative. ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network Community for sustainable transport
