Delta Airlines Partners with Conservation Fund to Offset Carbon Emissions

To help protect the environmen, Delta Airlines has partnered with the Conservation Fund, to plant trees that will offset carbon emissions.

On Earth 2007, Delta Airlines planted a tree for every worldwide Delta employee.  As a result of this single step, nearly 200 acres of native forests will eventually be restored across the nation and abroad – with a focus on the Gulf Coast region, an area that has lost more than 20 million acres of beautiful forestland in the last century.  Delta will also offer their employees and customers annual opportunities to get involved in sponsored tree plantings.

And, on June 1, 2007, Delta will make it easy for anyone who books a flight on Delta.com to add a small donation to the Conservation Fund – 100% going towards tree planting efforts.

As a frequent flyer with Delta, I look forward to seeing this new offer on their site.  I’ll keep you posted.
