Suzuki using myclimate to offset carbon from cross-Canada tour
The Globe reports that Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki is offsetting the carbon pollution from his current cross-Canada tour using Swiss provider myclimate

Just out of curiousity, I compared a YOW-YHZ roundtrip (how geeky am I to remember airport codes, sigh)
myclimate (ticket star - "the full impact of your flight on the climate is compensated"):
Ottawa (CA) - Halifax (CA) - Ottawa (CA)
this flight covers a distance of 1'908 km.One myclimate ticket costs 22.00 Swiss Francs and compensates for the emission of
567 kilograms of CO2Total price CHF 25.00
[Google says 22 Swiss Francs = Can$20.60]
OTTAWA - YOW to HALIFAX - YHZ: 955.7 km
Total Distance: 1911.4 km
Total Emissions: 259.8 kg
Program Cost: $7.00
So I'm guessing that basically myclimate considers full impact to be double raw CO2
