LA JOLLA, CA - November 7, 2007 - Pangaea Travel Consultants in partnership with Carbonfund.org today announced a new program to provide its clients with 100 percent carbon neutral travel.

Travel from airplanes, cars and other methods is a leading cause of CO2 emissions. The aviation industry is responsible for roughly 3 percent of a global carbon emissions, while just a short flight from San Diego to Cancun, for example, will emit the same amount of carbon into the atmosphere that it would take 20 trees ten years to absorb.

This program makes it easy and pain free for our travelers to offset their carbon footprint and help contribute to the solution. Pangaea Travel's program is the first of its kind to offset carbon emissions for all of its clients' travel, start to finish, free of charge. This includes emissions caused by air travel, hotel stays, cruises, and everything else Pangaea Travel has to offer. Donations to offset carbon emissions will go to Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree(TM) program, which reduces carbon emissions through investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects around the world. "As we see ourselves and our clients as global citizens, we are committed to ensuring we protect the environments and cultures we visit." Chris Tharp, Owner.

"Pangaea Travel truly has established itself as a leader in the fast-growing green travel industry. They have decided to do what to our knowledge no other travel company has done, which is offset all carbon emissions on behalf of all their clients, whether they ask for it or not," Carbonfund.org Executive Director Eric Carlson said. "We are extremely pleased to have them as a partner."
