CO₂ compensation
A flight to the United States involves significant CO₂ emissions. This has undesirable consequences for the climate. On esta-evisa.co.uk you have the option to offset your CO₂ emissions and therefore limit climate damage. The cost of CO₂ compensation depends on your departure and arrival locations. If you tick the CO₂ compensation option, you will see the current price. esta-evisa.co.uk does not earn anything from your contribution to CO₂ compensation. This amount is invested in projects approved by the VCS climate label.
You can partially offset the carbon emissions of your flight by selecting the “carbon offset” option. The amount you pay will be directly invested in VCS-certified projects.
