More and more travellers are becoming conscious of the need to limit their carbon footprint when taking a holiday. One way can be to holiday closer to home. Taking a short-haul flight can be considerably less damaging than travelling further afield. E.g. flying UK-Sweden uses 13 times less CO2 than flying UK-Australia. Offsetting your emissions for the flight, while not a panacea to the problems caused by air travel, can also help reduce the impact of your holiday.
