Climate Change & Intrepid Travel Carbon Offset Trips
Climate change is one of the most critical issues the world is facing today. Scientists are telling us that we must act with urgency to reduce our carbon emissions if we are going to stop catastrophic irreversible impacts to our precious home. Here at Intrepid, we’ve taken a long hard look at all our operations and have initiated various actions to reduce our contributions to global warming. We’re also endeavouring to help empower our staff and travellers to participate in emissions reductions measures. In December 2006, Intrepid Travel announced the goal of becoming a carbon neutral company in 2010. It’s a big goal, but we believe that with support of our staff and travellers, we know we can do it. In our initial steps toward carbon neutrality, Intrepid underwent a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our business. This was to help us recognise our impacts and identify the main sources of carbon emissions from our operations. From this process, we identified that our corporate emissions (offices and retail stores- globally), our trips and the flights that our passengers take to join an Intrepid tour, were our main sources of carbon emissions. We needed to come up with a plan to address these areas. our carbon management plan in a nutsell Intrepid’s carbon management plan is made up of the following principles: * A. Measure | * B. Avoid | * C.Reduce or switch to an alternative | * D. Assess | * E. Offset A. Measure This principle involves reviewing what Intrepid already …

It’s so Cold, there can’t be Global Warming
We've heard a lot of talk lately from deniers that cold temperatures are proof that there is no such thing as global waming. It looks like it will be an annual event for me to remind people that winter still follows summer. Since deniers seem to want to believe the warming thing is all a lie, perhaps a little review is in order.

Turning Carbon Dioxide Gas into Rock
An MIT/WHOI student examines a fascinating natural process in Oman. Certain minerals readily react with carbon dioxide, effectively taking it out of the air and converting it into solid rock. Could this process be speeded up to help offset the buildup of the greenhouse gas in our atmosphere?

1 Acre Carbon Offset Forest sponsorship
Located in a protected range and valley is an opportunity to create and protect a new forest to reduce our carbon in the atmosphere and help restore climate change balance on Earth. The Forests are located on once thick wooded forests that in 1906 were cut down to make way for Dairy cattle and provide wood to burn and make quality furniture and homes. Now in 2007, the Dairy are gone replaced with food cattle fattening up. Soon, with this video, we make available ‘Freedom Forests’, 1 acre …
