I don't know if there is a way to reduce the number of flights when you have to travel for work, but I think there is a way to be more efficient with your time while you are traveling. It does make for a long day when your flight leaves at 6am and doesn't return until 10pm, however if you are maximizing the day by booking meetings or getting items done that make you not have to return as quickly, then it is worth it. I will say when I selected this challenge, I wasn't sure what the actual cost was going to be and thought it would be quite high. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Alaska Airlines website to find out that a 2,500 mile carbon offset is just $5, according to this website: https://carbonfund.org/partners/alaska-airlines/. That actually makes me want to do that more often since I will feel better about my travel and just not buy a coffee on the trip to save the cost of the carbon offset. I will tell other people about this including whoever is reading this!
