Air Canada carbon offset

I am amazed at how quickly offsets have taken off.

Front page of the Globe today was Passengers face the cash, credit or carbon tax question

Air Canada passengers can now ease their guilt over global warming by buying carbon offsets, meaning a clear conscience for less than $20 on a return fare on popular routes.

On busy transatlantic routes such as Toronto-London, it will cost $19.20 to offset a passenger's share of a plane's carbon emissions. Domestically, a Vancouver-Montreal return flight will mean an extra $12.80 tacked on the ticket price.

Zerofootprint is their offset provider.
