London Heathrow is the United Kingdom’s busiest airport with over 80 million passengers passing through each year. While the hub is on course to become one of the first major airports to go carbon neutral, it has introduced a new service to help offset these travelers’ carbon emissions.

By using a “Flight Footprint Calculator” that is accessible on Heathrow’s website, passengers can calculate the carbon footprint of their journey. Thereafter, they can offset the amount by supporting two independently verified schemes.

A reforestation project in Uganda, which is certified by the Verified Carbon Standard can be supported under this scheme. Along with this, a wind farm in Costa Rica can be assisted through the program.
