Delta Air Lines is partnering with The Conservation Fund, to become the first U.S. airline to help its customers reverse some of the impact caused by jet exhaust that creates carbon emissions by buying trees.
To kick off the program, Delta is making a donation to The Conservation Fund for every customer taking a Delta mainline or Delta Shuttle flight on Earth Day, April 22, and is pledging a commitment to plant a tree for each of the airline’s 47,000 employees.
Beginning June 1, customers who purchase a ticket online at delta.com will have the option to contribute a donation to The Conservation Fund. Contributions of $5.50 for a domestic round trip flight and $11 for an international round trip flight will be used by TCF to plant trees throughout the U.S. and abroad. A small portion of the donation also supports the organization’s education and outreach efforts. www.delta.com/press release
