CO2 Travel Compensation for BKs

All forms of travel are among the biggest emitters of CO2, especially air travel. With one international flight we exceed our recommended annual carbon footprint. In order to protect our planet, it is advisable to travel less – go by train and bus instead of car and plane.

If travel or flying is required, you can now compensate for your contribution to CO2 emission by contributing 3-5% of your yearly travel budget towards a dedicated BK travel compensation fund. These funds will be used by Brahma Kumaris for solar and green projects in order to compensate for your travel emission.

Start now:

- Reduce your personal travel CO2 footprint

- Use environmentally friendly ways to travel

- Compensate for your contribution to CO2 emission by donating towards the compensation fund

- Share your experiences via mail
