I used climate care to offset a trip Alicia took recently to FL and I'm going to take in a few weeks to NC. The currency conversation worked out to be normal, though in the actual statement there was an additional 3% foreign purchase finance charge. Now for these two flights that works out to be 34 cents, so no biggie. Even though I think Climate Care is more noble in its endevours, I'm also going to use Terrapass. I plan to split my usage between the two, using Terrapass for the cars and house, and Climate Care for airline travel. Terrapass's fancier marketing I think works better in the US and providing the stickers for the car provides an opportunity for others to see it and hopefully move to offsetting their carbon dioxide emissions as well.
