Aviation Offsets in Bullyard

The Co-Op's travel firm, Travelcare (which is at Bullyard, here in Cov) is starting a pilot programme for travellers who want to "offset" the environmental impact of their flights, i.e. if you were flying to Australia, you could buy a £50 credit towards environmental projects that would compensate for the aviation fuel burnt.

In an ideal world, we need people who make 12 flights year, to shift towards making 8 flights a year in 2007, and 4 flights in 2008, using videoconferencing if you're a business traveller, or seeing more of Britain if they are tourist flights, whilst also buying into the idea of these carbon offsets.
