From offsets to solar-powered planes, the options to lower the carbon footprint of personal air travel today range from easy to almost impossible.
Darren Kelland has been featured in a recent Bloomberg special report which discusses the impact of private jet ownership on climate change.

He recalls that one client’s daughter wouldn’t let her father purchase a private jet without a plan to offset its emissions.
