For several years we’ve celebrated Earth Day (April 22) by matching carbon offset donations from our customers. In fact, we were the first U.S. airline to enable you to offset the carbon dioxide emissions from your flights, and we’re proud to continue the tradition again this year with our environmental partner The Nature Conservancy. So, when you make an offset through delta.com this April, we’ll match all donations up to $25,000!
To donate when booking your next flight, select “Learn More” under “A Greener Way to Fly” at the bottom of your confirmation page. You can also support The Nature Conservancy by making additional contributions, donating SkyMiles through our SkyWish program, or joining their online community to learn more about how you can help protect our world.

Last year our efforts raised more than $50,000 for The Nature Conservancy’s efforts for Earth Day, and with your help we know we can beat that mark this year!
Have you offset the emissions from your flight? If so, we’d love to know about it and learn more about the other ways you’re reducing your carbon footprint.

First, thanks to Delta for its green efforts. Its wonderful.
However, i’d like to suggest that Delta add ways customers such as myself can do a carbon offset after ticketing. The “Greener Way to Fly” option appears to only be there at the time of booking, it’s not on the email confirmation, it’s not under ‘my reservations’ when checking in/printing boarding passes and it’s not anywhere else I can find after spending a few mins on the website. It should be noted that the email of my reservation, check-in screens all have links for car rentals & hotels, so it should be easy to add the carbon offset.
Thanks for listening.

nealio,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. This is one of several improvements we have in mind and hope to implement later this year.
I know it won’t have your specific itinerary, but you can always use this link to offset separately: https://support.nature.org/site/Donation2?idb=2101929226&df_id=6260&6260.donation=form1
Thanks again.
