At Cheesemans’ Ecology Safaris, we are deeply committed to carbon neutral travel, ensuring that our adventures leave no negative impact on the environment. Since 2022, we have partnered with Sustainable Travel International to offset the carbon emissions generated during our trips, achieving true carbon neutrality.
Our approach to carbon neutral travel involves a comprehensive strategy:
- Carbon Offsetting: For each journey, we calculate the carbon emissions produced and invest in verified carbon offset projects that effectively neutralize our environmental impact. These projects focus on reforestation, renewable energy, and community-based initiatives that reduce greenhouse gases.
- Sustainable Practices: We prioritize eco-friendly operations by minimizing waste, reducing energy consumption, and supporting local conservation efforts. Our commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of our safaris, from transportation choices to accommodations.
By choosing Cheesemans’ Ecology Safaris, you embark on a journey that aligns with your environmental values. Our carbon neutral travel experiences allow you to explore the world’s most remarkable ecosystems while contributing to their preservation. Whether it’s witnessing the majestic wildlife of the African savannas or exploring the pristine landscapes of Antarctica, your adventure supports a sustainable future.
We also encourage our travelers to participate in carbon offsetting for their personal travel to and from our trip destinations. By collectively embracing carbon neutral travel, we amplify our positive impact on the planet. For guidance on reducing your travel carbon footprint, resources like Worldpackers offer valuable insights.
Our dedication to carbon neutral travel reflects our broader mission to promote conservation and responsible tourism. We believe that travel should be a force for good, fostering a deeper connection with nature while safeguarding it for future generations. By integrating sustainable practices into our operations, we strive to set a standard for eco-conscious travel. Together, we can make a difference, one journey at a time.
What Is Carbon Neutrality?
Everything you do that produces carbon dioxide (a portion of total greenhouse gases) — from driving to powering your home and more — contributes to global climate change.
The phrase “carbon neutral” is a trendy term used throughout the tourism industry, but what does it mean? The terminology can be confusing, so we’ve carefully chosen our approach based on the following definitions.
Carbon Neutral
Also called net-zero carbon emissions – means the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere is the same as the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere.
Carbon Negative
Also called climate positive and carbon positive – means the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere is larger than the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere.
Climate Neutral
The amount of all greenhouse gases, which include carbon dioxide, removed from the atmosphere is the same as the amount of all greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.
Why Is Cheesemans' Going Carbon Neutral?
Cheesemans’ is more than simply a “travel company.” Our foundation was built on striving to be ecology-minded in all we do, so we can continue to enjoy nature in its wildest form. While we eagerly plan to take you on your next adventure, we are invested in the awe and wonders of the natural world. Thus, we have chosen carbon neutrality as our company banner.
Our approach to being carbon neutral involves removing carbon emitted by vehicles (cars, boats/ships, and planes) throughout the duration of every trip. As information on climate change evolves, our approach may shift to increase our momentum and environmental impact; however, becoming carbon neutral will be a driving force. In doing so, we hope to protect those wild places for generations to come!
We’ve taken our commitment to sustainable tourism to the next level by becoming a member of Sustainable Travel International. As a member, we are part of a global movement of conscientious travelers and businesses that are passionate about making a difference and giving back to the places we depend on.
Sustainable Travel International is a mission-driven organization dedicated to protecting and conserving our planet’s most vulnerable destinations. They are working to transform tourism’s impact on nature and people by working alongside local communities, engaging travelers and businesses in responsible practices, and strengthening destination management. Through this work, they aim to safeguard nature, combat climate change, and empower communities to preserve the integrity of destinations around the globe. Cheesemans’ is also working with Sustainable Travel International to go carbon neutral (as defined above) for each of our trips to ensure we are offsetting the bulk of carbon emissions, thus achieving carbon neutrality.
In following their lead, we will be taking a two-pronged approach to addressing carbon emissions by:
CARBON OFFSETS
Making each trip carbon neutral, by offsetting carbon emissions throughout the duration of each trip.
CARBON CALCULATOR
Asking all our travelers to offset the carbon emissions from travel to and from our trips with our handy carbon calculator, or via their favorite carbon offsetting organization
It’s vital for us to keep the world greener while facilitating you, as an educated traveler, to uphold this same mission.
Thank you for joining us in this important fight!
