Trying to choose between several flights at the same price? Careplane lets you pick the greenest option, with no additional cost.
Careplane will be activated every time your browser lands on a search results page from one of its supported travel.
The add-on scans your results page, extracts flight information, and submits these details to Brighter Planet CM1, a carbon calculation web service. When the calculations are complete, Careplane inserts them into your results page unobtrusively, allowing you to consider environmental impact as your compare your options.
Why should I care?
Because climate change is affecting all of us! We don`t expect anybody to spend twice as much to take a green flight. But more often than not, going green is only $1 or so away, sometimes it`s even cheaper.
Careplane uses a sophisticated calculation methodology that considers more than a dozen factors, including aircraft type and projected passenger load. Bottom line: it`s better to know than not, right? Not all flights are created equal
How can equally-priced flights between the same cities differ hugely in environmental impact? Like cars, some aircraft guzzle fuel while others sip it. Plus, flights vary in the amount of cargo hauled and the number of seats left empty, which affects each passenger’s share of the fuel burned. Careplane takes it all into account.
Choosing a greener flight doesn`t just reduce your footprint. As more people start factoring sustainability into travel decisions, it creates a powerful market signal that consumers take airline efficiency seriously. Share Careplane with your friends, and help push for cleaner air travel.
Note: The Careplane add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux
