According to an e-mail sent to its SkyMiles members, Delta will partner with The Conservation Fund to "match all carbon offset donations made via delta.com during the month of April."
When you contribute to its Go Zero program, The Conservation Fund plants trees to offset carbon emissions resulting from your flight. So if you participate in Delta's matching program, they'll plant double the trees!
According to The Conservation Fund information on the Delta site:
- A contribution of $5.50, which results in the planting of one tree "in a protected park or national wildlife refuge," will offset carbon emissions from your roundtrip flight of approximately 1,320 miles.
So if you fly Delta this month, practice carbon neutrality and plant two trees for only $5.50.
