My carbon footprint is currently around 6 tons (w solar panels, nearly a meat free diet & riding a motorbike everywhere which significantly reduces congestion & pollution). More than half is flying. Whilst no flight is “inevitable” I do have one or two high priority trips a year

I give blood, raise a fair bit of money for charity, do a lot of community work on top of the day job. The day job too I hope to date has been a helpful contribution to humanity’s journey. But I cannot claim to be a decent person if my carbon footprint is 2x what’s sustainable

With time I hope I can do more: install a heat pump (currently v expensive), reduce consumption further, carbon offset what I can’t reduce. Until then I will, as a matter of routine, carbon offset any flight which is currently “unavoidable”. Be the change and all that jazz.

Consider this a pledge, resolution, whatever, and do hold me to it!

I am sure most of my Twitter connections have made their own changes to their lives to reduce their contribution to
#climatechange. And I know many don’t fly much. If you do, please consider carbon offsetting too. It’s a good idea and the tangible cost does make one think twice!Prikaži ovu nit -
And please do RT any of these tweets (and especially the one with the pledge) so as to hold me to account!

I was a bit jarred by the politician
@BarryGardiner’s recent tweet about flying from the Climate Conference. But then it occurred to me that if he’d carbon offset his flight with his own money (not taxpayers’), that would have been a whole different story. I hope he did do that.Prikaži ovu nit -
I should add (following
@arrwoo's excellent question) that when an offset option is not available from the airline / travel agency, I intend to use@nori for offsetting. They have an excellent platform and their approach is consistent with ours at@mattereumPrikaži ovu nit
