Flying Forest has adopted a simple system of payment.

We believe this will help us make a significant contribution to slowing down climate change and make a positive contribution to helping communities in Southern Africa as well as enhancing conservation.

Flying Forest recommend the following contributions:
Short Haul flight: £10.00 ( Approx. €12.00 / $20 )
Long Haul flight: £20.00 ( Approx. €25.00 / $40 )

Make cheques payable to Flying Forest Ltd. and send to:

Flying Forest Ltd, Marston Lodge, Sudbury Hill, Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex. HA1 3NH.

Christmas trees for Africa.

Alter the contribution figure to whatever you wish to donate. For every £10, Flying Forest will be able to plant a number of trees.

Calculating Your Carbon Footprint

It’s not easy to calculate how much CO2 you are personally responsible for on every flight you take.There are lots of different factors which come into play and which will affect the final output of CO2 on any given flight and your share of it.

These factors will include:

• The age of the plane and its engines – older engines tend to be less fuel efficient.
• The load factor – how many passengers are on your particular flight.
• The class you travel in – based on cabin area, business class takes up three times the space for an economy class passenger, and first class takes up six times more space.
• The altitude of the departure airport – thinner air means more fuel to take off.
• The time of day and time of year, both of which affect the air temperature, and the warmer it is, the more fuel is required.
• The restrictions applicable to particular airports – for example some airports require a steeper ascent/descent so as to cut down the noise nuisance.
• Air Traffic congestion – planes sometimes have to circle for considerable periods of time before they can land.

Because it’s so complicated for all these reasons (and others), Flying Forest has chosen what, on first view, may seem to be a rather simplistic way of calculating the contribution which we recommend that you make to fly with a clear carbon conscience. We hope that by keeping it simple, more people will be encouraged to contribute which allows us to plant more trees and to help more communities.
