Giving Back
We know that travel impacts the planet, so at Kind Heart, the goal is to make your travel more carbon neutral and help offset your carbon footprint.
​
How It Works
For each personal or group trip you book, I contribute a portion of my fee to the purchase of carbon offsets via Gold Standard, providing you with confirmation of this offset purchased on your behalf.
​​
How do you know these projects are really making a difference?
Gold Standard carefully vets every project in their portfolio via a rigorous due diligence process to ensure the emissions reductions are verified and credible. In addition, the organization seeks out projects that create added benefits beyond CO2 reductions and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, projects may create local jobs and livelihood opportunities, strengthen indigenous land rights, improve hygiene and sanitation, or protect endangered species.
Sustainability Goals
By supporting responsible tourism, Kind Heart strives to make a meaningful contribution to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Responsible Consumption and Production
