The partnership combines greenearth.travel's experience and dedication to green growth and a sustainable Travel and Tourism industry, with Offset Options' expertise and innovation in web services technologies for carbon offsetting and social media marketing.  It helps companies, destinations and travelers understand the complex world of carbon reduction – while making it an easy and positive experience for travelers to take action and let their friends know.
