Air Canada participates in the first fully biofuel-powered flight On June 18, Air Canada made history by joining three other airline carriers in completing a four-leg journey from Montreal to Rio de Janeiro fully powered by sustainable biofuels for aircraft . Using biofuels for the planes cut the carbon emissions of the flights by as much as 40 percent, which is important because aviation's impact on climate change is disproportionately large relative to the size of the industry. Steps like the one taken by Air Canada with their participation in this biofuel trip are important but at least 60 percent of the carbon emissions from this flight and others of its kind remain, so there is more that can be done. At Green Power Action we are always happy to see corporations like Air Canada take steps to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from their operations and products and services, and we think that including high-quality, permanent carbon credits are an important part of that strategy. That's why we offer corporations carbon credits that are always retired upon purchase, and that support community projects across Canada -- we help companies go carbon neutral while contributing to the ongoing environmental health of Canadian towns and cities. Whether or not their plane is running on biofuel, passengers can also make their air travel carbon neutral by purchasing carbon offsets . Fliers can make their air travel carbon neutral by purchasing high-quality permanent carbon credits to offset the impact of air travel. We offer individuals
