Compensating 3 Tons of CO2
Having travelled a lot this autumn, I decided to compensate for all the CO2 emitted while flying to Sicily, Madrid and Lisbon. Having read a number of opinions on the effectiveness of the different compensation schemes, based on planting trees, or reducing emissions on the other side of the world and then compensating that here, I was happy to learn about co2market.eu.
The emission permits you purchase here are bought of the european emission trading system. Every permit bought means a ton of CO2 is taken of the european CO2 budget.
Maybe, there are things to be said about this system as well, but never the less: Permits NL-1-1-3008692396-1-1, NL-1-1-3008692397-1-1 and NL-1-1-3008692398-1-1 were taken of the market in my name and won’t be spent by anyone else
