Air travel is one of the many sources of the worlds pollution, due to the carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft contributing to our rising levels of greenhouse gasses. Along with working responsibly ourselves, Selective Asia is committed to encouraging our clients to help reduce this negative impact.
How to do this?
For just £6 each way (flights over 4000 miles) you can offset your carbon footprint. Selective Asia will pass 100% of your contribution onto PATT who in turn arrange funding and logistics of the planting projects throughout Asia
Where does my payment go?
You will be helping to fund a range of tree planting projects throughout Asia. Without you, these trees would not be planted, and the additional carbon would still be in the atmosphere.
Example Project
In partnership with PATT and the Forest Restoration Research Unit (FORRU) we contribute towards a project implemented by Chiang Mai University in Northern Thailand. The project involves the replanting of a 20 rai (3.2 HA) plot in the upper Mae Sa valley watershed area in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. The area required replanting due to degradation and fire damage.
Emissions figures are based on distance in terms of CO2 emission factor kg/km and are provided by UK DEFRA. For further information on the
