Carbon Credits
Offsetting Your Emissions
As part of Hineni's ongoing commitment to the environment, we are offering you the opportunity to offset your carbon emissions. This means that you can offset all of the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions from your stay at camp (transport, food production, stationary, equipment etc) by contributing to our purchase of certified carbon credits from Carbon Planet.
These credits are used to plant trees, reduce landfill, promote environmental sustainability through education programs and minimise emissions in the corporate and industrial sectors.
Learn more about what my carbon credit will be is used for
You can choose to add $2 when purchasing your ticket to camp, which will offset about 1/12 of a tonne of CO2 (86.9kg to be exact!)
