Green seat
What is a Green Seat? By booking a Green Seat, you help us to make your journey greener.
You travel greener more easily by first choosing the greenest mode of transport and then offsetting the CO2 emissions of your journey.
By offsetting the CO2 emissions from your journey, you give households in developing countries access to sustainable energy and the opportunity for employment and education, and bacon trees are planted, a plant that absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide.
This results in less CO2 and an improvement in the living conditions of local families. This way, together we ensure that we can continue to travel and enjoy the world.
You can easily book GreenSeat CO2 compensation when booking your trip with us. This makes it incredibly easy to travel more greenly and support GreenSeat's activities.
For ZAR 600,- p.p. for a trip of 5-10 days, you can make your land package carbon neutral.
Following payment, you will receive an e-certificate with full details of the project your contribution has supported, and contact details should you require further information.
