Voluntary Carbon Offsetting 44 1-3%
FACT SHEET #11 / NOVEMBER 2020 VOLUNTARY CARBON OFFSETTING A number of airlines already offer voluntary carbon offsetting for passengers, how do they work? Each flight produces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and whilst there are a lot of things being done by airlines to reduce the fuel use and CO2 emissions, often passengers would like to know how they can help lower the CO2 footprint of their travel. Voluntary carbon offsetting is one option available to passengers, either through an airline programme directly, or a third-party offset provider. What are offsets? 44 A large number of corporate travellers The name ‘offset’ can cover a variety of sources of CO2 reduction. It is a way to compensate for CO2 being produced airlines offer and individual in one area, by helping to fund a project which reduces CO2 in voluntary carbon passengers will another area. offsetting offset through third- programmes to party providers: we For example, if a passenger’s flight produces 2 tonnes of passengers. have no visibility CO2, they can choose to help fund a project which provides renewable energy to replace 2 tonnes of fossil fuel-related Half of the world’s 20 on the uptake of CO2 production. largest airlines offer offsets through these offsetting. sources.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
BIRD TOURISM REPORTS 7/2016 Petri Hottola GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS Fig. 1. An Antillean Nighthawk, one of the birds seen during the short Grand Cayman visit. In 2016, June 18th to 20th, I made a brief visit to the island of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The visit was not without its problems, notably those with American Airlines delays and cancellations. Moreover, my need to save money on this exceedingly expensive (accommodation) island resulted in a program not everybody would consider their piece of cake. Nevertheless, some of the mistakes and successes of this trip might be informative or inspiring to other birders who intend to visit Grand Cayman. The target birds were seen, after all. I therefore decided to write a few lines in the form of the following report. This was actually my second visit in Grand Cayman. In 2013, on my way to Cuba, I was in transit in George Town, with Cayman Airways flights. The plan was to look for the near-endemic Vitelline Warbler in a promising spot next to the airport. Unfortunately, nobody was able to confirm our departure time. It could be delayed or early, and I therefore had to check in at once, not being able to leave the building, as planned. Cayman Airways, Bahamasair and various other regional airlines operate in their own cultural realm, in which timetables are not followed the way the rest of the world follows them. It is the so called ‘Caribbean Time Zone’. As a result, I needed to return to Grand Cayman in 2016, and overnight there.
