How can I help?
Balance out your "carbon footprint" through TerraPass. By funding clean energy and conservation projects, you can sponsor a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that is directly proportional to the emissions created by your plane flight.

When you fund clean energy through TerraPass, you're joining with thousands of others from all walks of life to make a real impact—150 million pounds of greenhouse gases and counting. Best of all, it's surprisingly easy and affordable to balance out your own impact.

Air travel is a major source of the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. A single cross-country plane flight burns about 100 gallons of fuel per passenger. That's as much as most people use in four months of driving.

Concerned citizens have been taking the lead on this pressing environmental issue by taking responsibility for their own greenhouse gas emissions. By joining with thousands of others, they're making real, tangible progress in the fight against global warming.

What is TerraPass?
TerraPass is a company with a mission to put practical tools for fighting climate change in the hands of ordinary citizens. Recognizing their success, last year Ford Motor Company chose TerraPass in a first-of-its-kind partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now Expedia has picked TerraPass for another pioneering program dedicated to positive environmental action.

Only two years old, TerraPass has received a lot of attention for its unique model and message, including stories in the The New York Times, BusinessWeek, USA Today, Wired Magazine, and on CBS.

No one takes accountability more seriously than TerraPass does. All TerraPass purchases are verified by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions, the creator of the Green-e program, the leading U.S. certification standard for renewable energy. TerraPass is the only member of the industry to have a published verification report created by an independent third-party auditor.

Where does the money go?
TerraPass members fund several different kinds of projects, carefully chosen for their environmental benefit. For example:

Ainsworth wind facility

Haubenschild Dairy Farm

Chicago Climate Exchange

What you get
TerraPass is available at three levels, which you can match to your own level of impact. Choose a TerraPass based on the round-trip distance of your flight. The farther you fly the more fuel you burn. You can also contribute more and help balance the "carbon footprint” of other fliers.

Larger purchases are eligible for a gift of a free luggage tag*! This durable, attractive item helps you quickly identify your luggage at the airport, while spreading the word about the importance of fighting climate change.
