Your Footprint & Offsets

Air Travel

Unfortunately, planes consume a vast amount of fuel. Flying cross-country burns more than 100 gallons of fuel per passenger. Over 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide are emitted per year from jet fuel use. That accounts for over 12% of the total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions created by the transportation sector annually. Airline travel contributes a significantly to global warming, and it's growing faster than any other single source of carbon emissions. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your carbon footprint for flying to events and offsetting your emissions.

Short Flights

Less than two hours each way.
For example, Atlanta, GA to Tampa, FL

Medium Flights

About four hours each way.
For example, Atlanta, GA to Phoenix, AZ

Long Flights

Over four hours each way.
For example, Atlanta, GA to Seattle, WA

Car Travel

Cars are a major source of carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming. The average car emits twice its weight in carbon dioxide. About 14% of the world's human activity related emissions come from transportation. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your footprint for driving to events and offsetting your emissions.

Hotel

The heating, air conditioning, hot showers and lighting used in hotel rooms all require electricity. For large weddings and events, this energy use can add up to a significant amount and contribute to climate change. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your hotel carbon footprint and offsetting your emissions.

Number of hotel room nights occupied by guests

This is the total number of hotel rooms multiplied by the number of nights.
For example,
20 hotel rooms per night for 3 nights would be 60 hotel room nights.
