Silverjet- Biz Class to London AND earth-friendly??!!!
yay! Finally an airline for me! (now, if they only flew from Miami....)
Silverjet is the first carbon neutral airline worldwide and is the Institute of Transport Management's environmentally aware airline of the year, 2007.
Our ticket price includes a mandatory carbon offset contribution which is invested by our world leading climate consultancy partner, The CarbonNeutral Company, to ensure that every tonne of CO2associated with your flight is matched by one tonne saved through climate friendly projects around the world.
Where your money goes:
Examples of projects supported by Silverjet to neutralise its carbon impact are:
Jamaican energy efficient project – subsidises the cost of energy efficient lightbulbs to encourage use. Benefits to the island include less dependence on depleted oil reserves and less power cuts, which in turn promotes the prime industry – tourism
New Zealand wind farm – one of the few gold standard carbon offset projects worldwide, this provides an alternative to non-sustainable power sources
US methane – methane is 23 times more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and it leaks from many disused mines. This project captures methane and ‘flares’ it which converts methane into CO2.
