CARBON NEUTRAL
Carbon Neutral is a term that indicates the point at which carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are completely offset through high quality renewable energy, energy efficiency and/or reforestation projects. These emissions are measured, according to international standards, and given a monetary value (dollar/ton CO2) through Sustainable Travel International (STI). Inkaterra is not only carbon neutral but also carbon negative due to its conservation and reforestation efforts in the cloud forest and Amazon jungle. Inkaterra hotels provide its guests not only 100% carbon neutral stay but also the opportunity to offset their air travel related greenhouse gas emissions through carbon neutral directly with STI.
