In private aviation, companies like Stratos Jet Charters have started\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/glossary\/eco-jet-charter\/\">eco-jet charter programs<\/a> to help clients offset their carbon footprint. It allows them to contribute to carbon reduction initiatives in a meaningful way, without significantly increasing the cost of private jet travel.<\/p>\n<h2>Making a Difference<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to placing a cap on\u00a0the total annual emissions allowed, global trading partners use carbon credits to fund\u00a0carbon reduction initiatives all around the world. For instance, Stratos Jets partners with a company called TerraPass. They offer opportunities for individuals and businesses to purchase carbon offsets. When a Stratos Jets client requests an eco-jet charter flight, they agree to a slight increase in their cost of private jet travel. TerraPass\u00a0then uses that surplus\u00a0to fund a range of innovative projects, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Renewable energy<\/li>\n<li>Energy conservation<\/li>\n<li>Alternate energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By using\u00a0these\u00a0contributions for\u00a0a single cause, TerraPass can\u00a0fund larger projects\u00a0that yield substantial results. They can achieve much more using this collective approach\u00a0than an individual could acting alone. As a result, private jet travelers have peace of mind knowing he or she has is making a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A carbon credit is a certificate or permit used by global industries to control greenhouse gas emissions.","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3306,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1402],"tags":[978],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61522"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61522"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94138,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61522\/revisions\/94138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
