Many of us are aware that taking a flight on a holiday isn't good for the environment. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is produced by aircraft burning fuel. There is increasing recognition that this is contributing to climate change.
The flights taken by Sunvil's 30,000 customers generate about 12,000 tonnes of CO2 every year - around the same as 3,500 cars. For example, taking a return flight to Cyprus means you are responsible for about 0.6 tonnes of CO2 being released into the atmosphere.
Together with Carbon Offsets Limited, Sunvil is offering you the chance to help offset some of the damage these emissions will cause. Offsetting is straightforward. Donations made will be invested in verified offset projects, such as renewable energy, that generate CO2 savings to balance out your emissions. Sunvil Holidays and it's clients have been successful in raising a total of £40,064.48 from carbon offset contributions since February 2007.
