Repay your carbon debt

As you seem to be aware, I fly a lot these days. Last year I would've flown 8 medium haul flights, had it not been for a funeral, and I'm pretty sure then the plane still went without me and Sue, so there was no less environmental impact for me cancelling at the last minute.

I suspected this wasn't terribly good for the environment; and indeed not: one short haul flight generates the equivalent carbon of running a 1.4 litre car for three months.

These guys let you assuage your guilt by planting trees to replenish the environment. It's a crazy idea, but it just might work; at £10 a flight or so I reckon I can afford to save the planet...
