Carbon Neutral Travel

At E4 our goal is to offset 100% of carbon emissions that result from our travel products and services. This includes international flights, domestic transportation, and lodging (electricity use).

Our first step towards meeting this goal is our pledge to offset all emissions for travelers participating in any of our guided tours, and some of our self guided tours.

For the remainder of our self guided tours and excursions, we are committed to offsetting domestic transportation and lodging emissions and provide travelers with the option of contributing to the offset of their international flight ($5-$15 for US flights)

We offset carbon emissions with investments in Environmental Services Certificates (ESC's), offered by FONAFIFO here in Costa Rica. FONAFIFO uses this investment to fund projects and programs devoted to rainforest preservation and reforestation.
