The Less Approach
At Less, we recognize that offsetting is an imperfect solution to the complex issue of climate change. Along with environmental groups like WWF, we stress that offsetting should be a last resort only. When reducing your environmental impact, Less advises a three-step approach:
Reduce, conserve and be more efficient.
For those products and services you use, switch to green, more environmentally friendly alternatives. When it comes to your energy needs, Less' parent company, Bullfrog Power, offers easy, affordable ways to choose green electricity, green natural gas and now green transportation fuel.
For those emissions you can't reduce or eliminate — your air travel-related emissions — count on Less to offset them. For more on The Less Approach, click here.
Air travel is a wonderful benefit of modern life — but we all know it creates harmful emissions. Make the responsible travel choice with Less Emissions today.
Less Emissions helps people and organizations mitigate travel emissions quickly, effectively — and with the highest quality offsets in Canada.
You'll lessen your environmental footprint, support innovative emissions reductions projects and ultimately make the responsible decision for our planet when you travel.
