BC’s West Coast Adds to the Carbon Neutral Companies

Carbon offset programs to help the environment are becoming more attractive to airlines in British Columbia.


Harbour Air Seaplanes has been pretty amazing in their commitment to the environment. They’ve been quietly buying high quality carbon offsets for all their flights since October 1, 2007.

Their goal is to be entirely carbon neutral by the end of the year. An enormous feat indeed. So far they’ve done it. All of their services have been offset, totalling over $15,000 CDN to carbon offset programs.

They’re still an airline, so the pollution is still being created, but at least they’re doing what they can. So far, they’re “the first air carrier of any variety in North America and the only seaplane airline in the world to make all of its flight services 100% carbon neutral.”

Harbour Air Ltd. has stated that it’s aim is to become the first airline in the world to be carbon neutral in, not only their flights and tours, but in everything they do. A noble goal I wish more companies would follow.
