2006 Stewardship Report: Sustaining the Natural World: Climate Change: REI Adventures:  26.2% of total GHG emissions calculated

REI Adventures, our adventure travel company, served 4,000 clients in 2006. The GHG impacts associated with REI Adventure travel were determined by calculating the miles between a traveler's home airport to the final destination and back. Our method to compute the numbers was based on the Climate Neutral Network's system.

In 2006, we partnered with Bonneville Environmental Foundation to develop the nation's most significant carbon-neutral travel program. As of January 1, 2007, we automatically offset all of the CO2 generated by REI Adventures travel with no additional cost to customers via Green Tags, or renewable energy credits. This program has the potential to offset 25,000 tons of CO2 in 2007. For more information on Green Tags.
