Whether you are traveling by car or by plane, you can offset the negative impacts of the greenhouse gas emissions from your travel.
Bio Bio offers you the ability to reduce the environmental impacts of your travel to and from your Bio Bio expedition by purchasing Green Tags from the non-profit Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF).
Your Green Tag purchase offsets your flight’s climate-altering carbon dioxide pollution by supporting an equivalent amount of pollution-free electricity produced from clean, renewable generating sources across North America.
BEF’s Green Tags are from 100% new, renewable energy resources, including wind and solar energy, and are certified by Green-e® Climate, the nation’s leading voluntary certification program for green power products. In addition, because BEF is a non-profit foundation, a portion of every Green Tag purchase goes to support our renewable energy and watershed restoration programs. With BEF, more of your funds make it to where they’ll have the most direct effect.
Example:
 A family of four traveling from Portland, Oregon to Honolulu, Hawaii for a week’s vacation would contribute over 28,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and other air pollution from travel-related activities, such as plane flights, that can now be offset with the help of your Green Tag purchase.
This is the equivalent air pollution reduction benefit of:
- Not driving a car for 30,628 miles, or
- Planting 4 acres of trees.
BEF’s Green Tags are an important component in building the market for clean, domestic sources of electricity production and result in the direct investment into new generation facilities across North America.
 By supporting clean, renewable energy, you have the power to:
- Reduce air pollution
- Benefit future generations
-
Offset greenhouse gas emissions
Each Green Tag represents the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that occurs when clean renewable energy replaces polluting energy sources.
All BEF’s Green Tag products are Green-e® Climate certified.
