Expedia and Travelocity both rolled out new programs this year that let travelers buy carbon offsets. Travelers who buy offsets through Expedia and its partner TerraPass, a Web-based for-profit company in Menlo Park, Calif., for a medium or long-haul flight get a “Carbon Balanced Flyer” luggage tag. The charge is $5.99 to offset about 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide — the amount emitted, per passenger, on a round-trip flight of up to 2,200 miles; $16.99 for a cross-country flight of up to 6,500 miles; and $29.99 for an international flight of up to 13,000 miles.
It is unclear how much impact these programs actually have on climate change — or whether they function mostly as a way for travelers to justify the amount of pollution they generate on trips. Still, many travelers see carbon offsetting as a way to help tackle global warming without having to give up that trip to the Bahamas.

（Expedia 和 Travelocity 今年兩者都捲出了新的計畫哪一讓旅客買碳抵銷。）
經過 Expedia 和它的合夥人 TerraPass 買抵銷的旅客，一網路的為－在 Menlo 公園，加州的利潤公司。，對於一次半生熟的或運輸的飛行拿行李標籤給 " 碳平衡了搭機者 " 。 費用是＄5.99 彌補大約 1,000 磅二氧化碳－ 數量發出，每乘客，在一次達 2,200 哩的來回旅行飛行上；
（發出的數量，每乘客，在一次達 2,200 哩的來回旅行飛行上； / 數量發出，每乘客，在一次達 2,200 哩的來回旅行飛行上；）
＄16.99 對於一次達 6,500 哩的越野飛行； 而且＄29.99 對於一個達 13,000 哩的國際航線。
它是不清楚的這些計畫實際上有在氣候改變上多少衝擊－ 或是否當一個方法讓旅客証明他們在旅行上產生的污染的數量的時候，他們大部份運作。 靜止又許多旅客調查彌補如一個方法幫助處理沒有必須放棄那一次旅行給巴哈馬的全球暖化的碳。
