Delta Air Lines Spends $100,000 Offsetting CO2 On CES Flights

Delta Air Lines has announced that it will spend $100,000 to offset the CO2 emissions from its CES 2020 flights. CEO Ed Bastian used his keynote address at the event to announce that the company would be offsetting its flights to and from Las Vegas for the week beginning 6th January 2020. Bastian informed the keynote that Delta would be investing $100,000 with The International Small Group & Tree Planting Program (TIST), a nonprofit that works with subsistence farmers in countries such as Kenya and Uganda. Since 1999, the organization has planted over 19 million trees. This comes in the wake of British Airways announcing earlier this month that it would be introducing a new offsetting scheme.
