Antarctica Cruise : What’s My Carbon Footprint Calculation? 1 reply
How much carbon dioxide (CO2) gets released into the air as a result of my trip to Antarctica?
According to the site shown below, my air travel from ORD to Ushuaia, AR releases over five tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Now offsetting is cheap - perhaps too cheap - almost makes you wonder. According to the source listed here, my offset costs just under $80 for 5 tones of CO2. What really happens to the money? Does it impact anything?
I’m going to discuss carbon offsetting in the coming days and weeks, and where to go to calculate your carbon footprint, and how much the cruise itself contributes. Does our cruise offset, or is this whole topic a bunch of penguin poo?
