In your pursuit for ecotourism, you travel across the world. However, does traveling itself contribute to the increasing temperatures? Are you carbon Positive? Are you adding onto the greenhouse gas emissions? Well if you are then there are numerous ways to book yourself for carbon-neutral travel.
You could travel with any of the following:
• Travelocity: Here to repent carbon emissions you could go in for the Go Zero program, it will help you offset your emissions by a donation of $10, which will go in for planting trees, mostly in the Lower Mississippi River Valley.
• Expedia: It helps support renewable energy offers. It does so by using TerraPass for most of its activities.
• REI Adventures: They try to support solar, wind and other renewable energy project by purchasing energy credits called “Green Tags”
So when you set out to spend your hard earned money on ecotourism destinations do so with becoming carbon-neutral travelers.

The debate about carbon offsetting certainly seems to be hotting up. Some see it as a panacea to our climate problems, others see it is a way to attempt to ”buy your way out of trouble”, rather than making a real change in lifestyle. Whatever your thoughts on offsetting, doing it is certainly better than not doing it. Also, choosing a short-haul destination closer to home can make a huge difference to your holiday emissions. For example, flying to Sweden from the UK generates 13 times less emissions than a trip to Australia. For a selection of responsible travel experiences in Sweden (with the option to offset your emissions through partnership with Climate Care) you may like to take a look at Nature Travels holidays in Sweden.
