San Francisco Airport to Sell Carbon Offsets
San Francisco airport is trying out a neat idea- selling carbon offsets in the airport. It’s one way that you can make flying a little greener.

No one expects them to stop, but they should consider taking steps to reduce their impacts.”
San Francisco’s Airport Commission has authorized the program, which will involve a $163,000 investment from SFO, but is still working out the details with 3Degrees. Because of that, McDougal said, he can’t yet discuss specifics, such as the cost to purchase carbon offsets and what programs would benefit from travelers’ purchases.
