Here at ITH, we’re committed to providing not only convenient travel options but also a more sustainable way to fly. We understand that traveling has an environmental impact, and we believe that every little step towards sustainability can make a big difference. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a simple way for you to offset your carbon footprint when you travel from Ithaca Tompkins International Airport.

How Does It Work?

Offsetting your carbon footprint has never been easier! When you’re traveling through our terminal, keep an eye out for cards located throughout the airport. Each card has a QR code that you can scan with your smartphone. This will take you directly to the Finger Lakes Climate Fund website, where you can calculate your flight’s carbon emissions and contribute funds to offset them.

The Finger Lakes Climate Fund supports local projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions right here in our community, making your contributions truly impactful for the region you call home. From weatherizing homes to installing renewable energy systems, these projects help build a sustainable future, one flight at a time.

Why Offset Your Carbon Footprint?

Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive modes of transportation. By offsetting the emissions from your flights, you’re actively contributing to the reduction of your travel’s impact on the environment. Carbon offsets represent investments in renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency projects, which help balance out the carbon emissions generated during your flight.

Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, taking this small step can make a big difference. You’re not just a passenger; you’re an active participant in the movement towards a healthier planet.

Look for the Cards & Join Us in Our Mission

When you’re at ITH, look for our table top cards throughout the terminal. These cards are easy to spot, and all it takes is a quick scan to start making a difference. With just a few clicks, you can turn your travel into a force for good. Plus, you’ll be joining us in our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.

Small Actions, Big Impact

As we work together to make our travel practices more sustainable, remember that every effort counts. Each time you choose to offset your carbon footprint, you’re helping to create a more sustainable future for the Finger Lakes region and beyond.

Thank you for supporting sustainable travel and helping us protect our beautiful planet. We’re proud to be part of a community that cares about making a difference—one flight at a time.
