Ideas for Action:

• One of the major causes attributed to global warming is pollution caused by air travel. Click here to read a report presented at the 2004 ITT conference (with thanks to Travel weekly) 
  
  Talk to us about our "Carbon Calculator" . This easy to use on-line tool can be customised with your company details for use on your own website. Your clients can be invited to donate to measures that help reduce the amount of harmful Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere created by their flight. The Calculator gives information on how to measure distances travelled and suggested amounts for donations. Your customers can use this Calculator to see what effect their holiday air travel has on the environment and it will give them the opportunity to redress the balance by donating money to plant trees, protect forests or help with fuel efficiency measures at one of FOC's ongoing projects. 

• Ask us for copies of our "Traveller's Code". Giving this short guide out to your customers before they travel will encourage them to become more aware of environmental issues, enabling them to enjoy a more eco-friendly holiday. Helpful tips in this free guide include what to do 'before you go', finding out about local culture and customs and ways that people can conserve the environment once at their destination. 

• Encourage your employees to participate in our GAYE (Give as you Earn) Scheme. This simple to administer scheme is at no cost to your company, but it will help earn much needed funds for our ongoing projects. Basically employees on your payroll have the opportunity to make a donation to FOC on a regular basis. 

• You can become a member of the Travel & Tourism Conservation Group (TTCG).
