Carbon Offset Your Travel

November 19, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Greenhouse gases (GHG), like carbon dioxide (CO2), are emitted when fossil-fuels are consumed. We all emit CO2 emissions when we drive a car, fly in a plane, use electricity, or generate waste.

  • Offsetting CO2 emissions is an act of counterbalancing the amount of gases we emit.
  • When you travel, a “carbon offset” payment can be made which will be put towards a number of projects providing offsets.
  • All projects provide a positive contribution to sustainable on-site development and are compatible with all dimensions of sustainability

Carbon offsets for a 14-day Tanzania trip with 7-day Kilimanjaro trek and 5-day safari with international flights ranges from $150 to $200/person depending on your origination city.

Inge Kartveit climbs Kilimanjaro to show that life goes on

November 12, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Inge Kartveit of Bergen, Norway, has planned a trip of great deal symbolic importance to him. Inge’s wife fought with cancer for years, and last January she lost the fight. Inge Kartveit is now planning on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with AWR one year after his wife tragically passed.

“Kili has been a target for me during my wife’s cancer illness, so one year after she lost the fight against cancer I would really like to be at the summit and make a sort of finalization of six very difficult years and telling myself that life does not end even if you have lost someone very close to yourself.”

We commend Inge for his brave trek of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and we wish him success on his summit attempt!
