I fly more than the average Joe. I was figuring it out the other day, as I was looking at my frequent flyer miles, and decided that i make a significant impact due to my travel. I also ran into this fact: one transatlantic flight for a family of four creates more CO2 than that family generates domestically in an entire year. That made me want to take some action. As a remedy, I have decided to offset my carbon footprint by contributing to The Nature Conservancy which can be found at www.nature.org. They plant trees and invest in non-fossil fuel energy sources such as wind and water power. It doesn't cost much and makes me feel better than drinking a beer. You should do it too...
Cheers!
