Default Offsetting CO2 emissions?

For example, return flights from Heathrow to Orlando for a family of four produces nearly 8 metric tonnes of CO2. *An average 25 year old pine can absorb 6.82kg (15lbs) of CO2 per year.(* Approximate, as different tree species and trees of varying age absorb different amounts of CO2) For more information, please visit partners Climate Care, http://www.climatecare.org/ and use their emissions calculator to find out how much CO2 your family's holiday will produce and how to offset it by making a donation to plant trees. We would love to hear your views. Have you offset your family holiday emissions? Are you considering it? Sam at Take the Family
