We love tours here at Pangaea and think they are often the best way to
see a region, experience its culture, and partake in activities under
the expert guidance of local guides and experts. Unfortunately, an
average tour will consist of plane flights, rentals vehicles for
transfers, hotel stays, and other forms of transportation. All of
these items burn fossil fuels and are producing harmful carbon dioxide
emissions, further warming the Earth's climate. Consider the
following:
10: approximate number of gallons of crude oil required to make one
gallon of jet fuel
77: number of gallons of jet fuel needed for a person to travel from
New York to Los Angeles on a commercial jet plane
A round trip flight from LAX to Paris will burn almost three metric
tons of carbon emissions.

Let us green your tour for free! We have partnered up with
Carbonfund.org to calculate for each of our clients the exact amount
of fossil fuels (carbon emissions) burned on your vacation, and we pay
for the carbon offsets (link to carbon offset page). In addition, we
will make a donation to one of our non-profit partners in the area you
are traveling to who are working to conserve and sustain the cultures,
and sites you enjoy while gone. It won't cost you a cent more to let
us book your tour; we'll offset your emissions, and let you choose
which organization you'd like to donate your free money to! For a list of the organizations we work with, click here.
