Carbon offsetting programs

Air travel causes large carbon emissionsA single long-haul flight between London and Los Angeles will rack up 2.6 tons of carbon emissions in your personal pollution account.

Most airlines don't yet have options for you to offset these emissions right on the website, but British Airlines and SAS are pioneers here. For other modes of transport, there's not a super-simple way to offset carbon emissions, but these organisations give you a way to offset.
