New Logo+ Press Release

Presenting.....our newest press release! Hopefully you will soon be reading about us in all types of travel magazines!

(La Jolla, CA) Pangaea Travel, the eco-active travel consultant, is helping turn travel tours and cruises green with their unique marketing programs including carbon-neutral and incentive-based travel. Travel accounts for about 12 percent of the human contribution to global warming, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The good news is an individual can offset -- if not eliminate -- their carbon footprint by making better choices, and in fact choices that can even save money.

Pangaea Travel Consultants, in partnership with Carbonfund.org, is offering clients carbon free travel worldwide for no cost and with zero inconvenience to the traveler. Uniquely, Pangaea's program offsets the carbon emissions for the traveler's entire trip; from the drive to the airport or pier, to the plane ride or cruise to rental cars and hotels etc. And with the negative effect travel has on global warming, right now carbon-free travel equates to guilt-free travel.

“Offsetting one's carbon footprint allows every traveler to become part of the solution to climate change by supporting the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions equal to their carbon emissions. The program supports carbon-reducing projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. With our program, the traveler gets to choose" stated Chris Tharp, partner in Pangaea Travel. “In truth, carbon offsets can be more cost effective and practical than many other measures an individual can take. And I am unaware of any other travel company offering carbon credits for the entire trip and at zero cost to our traveler” concluded Mr. Tharp. “Another thing that makes us unique”, added Jessica Finley, partner in Pangaea, “is our approach to tour packages. We're so committed to carbon free travel that even if a person already has their tour or cruise completely planned, they can still call us to book their trip. With one phone call, we will issue them carbon credits for their entire trip and present them with more than $100 of gift certificates on travel apparel and accessories for a measurable added value” Jessica summarized. Pangaea believes that everyone has a responsibility to reduce their individual carbon footprint, and there are lots of ways to do so. They take this to heart in how they operate their business by using energy efficient light bulbs at the office, recycling, only turning on lights in offices in use, turning off computers and monitors when not in use, and have even offset the cost of their business operations for the year. “What can I say? It really is easy being green" stated Ms. Finley.

Pangaea Travel is uniquely positioned as an eco-active travel consultant focusing on custom tours and cruises. What makes their position genuine is their policy of providing carbon credits to offset the carbon footprint created by the traveler's entire trip, including plane, train, car, cruise ship, hotel, etc. They do this with no charge or inconvenience to their client. Pangaea specializes in adventure, educational and cultural travel, matching the tour or cruise with their clients individual travel preferences.

Great blog!

If the economics don't work, recycling efforts won't either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
