This is Kaleel Sakakeeny with your Travel Video Alert
More people are flying than ever and the Carbon Dioxide emitted by planes at high altitudes does more harm to the atmosphere than emission from cars, so no one can travel guilt free these days.
However, Carbon Offset programs let travelers offset the gas they pass
The programs offered on the web and by travel giants like Orbitz and Travelocity calculate how much Carbon Dioxide you are responsible for while you are flying the friendly skies
They give you a dollar figure to pay to offset your carbon footprint and they will plant a tree with the money or back a wind power program
My trip from Boston to San Francisco cost me 7 bucks to offset my ton of Carbon Dioxide, and the company plants a Douglass Fir Tree to make the air a little cleaner.
Does it help or just feel good?
It takes a 50 years for the tree to grow so I would rather see the airlines fly more fuel efficient planes, use less congested airports. But mostly I would like to see us stop buying big cars burgers and houses.
