While on my recent business trip, the UK media was all abuzz about the Queen’s trip to the US. Everything was covered: her itinerary, her visit to Virginia Tech, her life-long interest in the Kentucky Derby, her meeting with GW, even …offsetting her carbon emissions.
Yes, apparently 3 tons of clothing and 35 people in her entourage is quite a load to fly over to the US in a private Boeing 777. Good to know Liz is concerned about her personal impact on the environment (smile) and has committed to offset her carbon footprint. What’s the cost of the offset? About $10,000.
Methods of compensating for carbon dioxide generated by flights usually includes paying for tree planting of supporting projects in developing countries. So exactly, how many trees would that equate to?
