A romantic trip to Barbados would probably make most Londoners’ Valentine’s Day. And now couples can enjoy their visit to the Caribbean with consciences as clean as the water washing tropical beaches. Why? Because just £14 buys something very special – a holiday that promises not to harm the planet.

The company behind this attractive proposition is the UK firm Climate Care, which for relatively small sums enables people to offset the environmental damage of energy-intensive activities by funding clean-energy projects around the world. It prices carbon offsets, or “voluntary emissions reductions”, for a single passenger’s return flight from Heathrow to Barbados at just £14.16.

This is carbon offsetting. Of all the possible solutions to climate change none is perhaps more desirable, or less well understood.
