What is Carbon Offsetting?
Carbon offsetting is a financial exchange whereby a person can reduce their carbon emissions footprint by purchasing carbon emission credits from a carbon offsets company. This company then invests the capital into clean energy projects, or carbon-capture projects, which reduce carbon emissions ( or capture carbon) in an amount equal to the credits purchased. It is impossible to live a carbon-neutral existence, but we can choose to use our purchasing power to support a greener tomorrow. Purchasing carbon offsets not only helps to reduce your carbon footprint, it also generates capital to support growing clean-energy technologies. Want to learn more....follow this link:

What is Cabin Fever Adventures Doing?
.
Our Carbon Offseting Program is Simple:
.
- For your convenience, we have calculated the approximate cost to carbon offset the transportation involved in your trip and have listed this amount on each trip details page. A lower "Carbon Offset Fee" is associated with an itinerary that consumes less fossil fuels.
- Included in our "Carbon Offset Fee" is not only offsets for emissions directly related to transporting our clients during their trip, but also transportation emissions created by Cabin Fever Adventures employees during preparation for our trips, and the running of our company.
- Cabin Fever Adventures purchases carbon offsets quarterly, based on our actual fuel consumption used in company vehicles, including air charters to our remote put-ins by float plane and helicopter.
