REI Adventures Leads the Way With Carbon-Neutral Travel
REI Adventures offsets 100% of the climate-altering carbon emissions
generated by air, water and land travel associated with each of our trips.
At REI Adventures, we've long offered trips that maintain the highest standards of responsible travel.
Climate change and greenhouse gases are a concern to REI. The burning of fossil fuels for transportation, including air,
water and car travel, are primary sources of
CO2 greenhouse gas pollution. That's why we are taking steps to reduce our
environmental footprint and be part of the solution to
global warming.
In partnership with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, REI Adventures purchases renewable energy credits to
offset the carbon emissions generated by all aspects of our trips, including our customers' airline travel. We purchase renewable energy credits to offset the CO2 produced by each participant's flight and ground transportation. The
credits, called "
Green Tags," will support solar, wind and other renewable energy projects. With enough support of these
"green" energy sources, the use of conventional, polluting power such as coal and natural gas can be reduced, and overall
greenhouse gas pollution minimized.
REI Adventures is proud to be the first major U.S. based adventure travel company to make its travel carbon-neutral at
this scale.
You can learn more about how we are addressing global change in
REI's Annual Stewardship Report.
