A carbon credit is a financial unit of measurement that represents the removal of one tonne (1,000 kg or 2,205 lbs.) of carbon from the atmosphere. Carbon is warming the planet to unsustainable levels and temperatures will only keep rising unless we do something about it.
Alaska’s sea ice is at an all time low, we’re setting record breaking temperatures, and that all has a tremendous impact on what we do and the way we live. We purchase carbon credits through cooleffect.org to offset the fuel we burn on our trips by charging a minimal fee for each fare when passengers book.
The project we support protects an old growth spruce forest on the North Coast of Afognak Island in Alaska. It will sequester about 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents over its 30-year life. The project “protects unlogged forests that would be logged in the absence of carbon finance.”
