Offset your journey to Cornwall
Chances are you are not going to walk or cycle to Cornwall! So whatever way you get here the greenhouse gas CO² will unfortunately be a bi-product.
However, rather than never going on holiday (what a miserable existence!), you could use carbon offsetting to neutralise the effect of your journey.
Retiring carbonMany offsetting schemes are deemed to be
ineffective or misleading, however, retiring carbon is the most
effective and ethical method of carbon offsetting.
Carbon Retirement buy CO² "pollution permits" and permanently remove them from the system so that they can't be used.
This
means that the heavily polluting industries that need them are required
to reduce their emissions instead of buying permits and continuing to
pollute.
It forces investment in low-carbon technology, creating long-term change and preventing emissions before they happen.
You can offset your car or plane journey
to Cornwall (amongst other things) with Carbon Retirement's easy
online calculator (normally less than £10 driving from anywhere in the
UK).
The offsets provided by Carbon Retirement meet the UK government quality assurance scheme.
Or you can protect rainforest with Cool Earth when you come to the Cornish Horizons Padstow office.
Rainforest protectionAchieve
the double whammy of reducing CO² released into the atmosphere (thereby
offsetting your journey to Cornwall) and protecting some of the world's
most vulnerable communities and animal species. Visit the Cool Earth site to find out how incredible their work is.
