Tourism is responsible for roughly 8% of the world’s carbon emissions.
It is our responsibility as travelers to reduce our carbon footprint. Here are some of the ways YOU are helping us make an impact through JUMP Adventures.
Direct Carbon Capture
We donate a portion of the proceeds from every single trip to Tomorrow’s Air, collectively and permanently removing at least 600kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.
Offsetting Carbon Emissions
We extend a one-time invitation to you as you book your trip with us to contribute to offsetting your own carbon emissions through Sustainable Travel International. Your donation helps fund various carbon offset projects across the world. 100% of your donation goes directly to Sustainable Travel International. This service is proudly provided by our booking partner WeTravel.
Rewilding in Patagonia
On our Northern Patagonia trips (Chile), we partner with certified B Corp BirdsChile and local NGO Legado Chile to spend some of our time volunteering with their current rewilding projects. This is a chance to get our hands dirty and give back to one of the countries we so love to enjoy.
Human-Powered Transport
We get off the beaten path, and then we use our bodies to propel us from place to place, whether we are hiking, cycling, or paddling, you won’t find any city bus sight-seeing tours around here.
Adventure Travel = Local Travel
In all of our destinations, we carefully select and work with local companies and guides, with whom we’ve built relationships over many years. This not only ensures that our dollars are staying in and contributing sustainably to the destinations we love, but to the people and companies we believe in.
Leave No Trace
We practice Leave No Trace on the trail and encourage you to do so as well. The seven principles of LNT are: plan ahead and prepare, travel & camp on durable surfaces, dispose of waste properly, leave what you find (unless it’s trash – you can pick that up), minimize campfire impacts, respect wildlife, be considerate of others.
Reuse/Refill
We are big believers in refilling and reusing water bottles. We’ll always encourage you to carry your own reusable water bottle/coffee mug/vessel of choice and help the environment by avoiding single-use plastic whenever possible.
Hats for Carbon Removal
When you purchase a hat from our Shop, we contribute 1% of our revenue to carbon removal. We do this through Stripe Climate, a coalition of small businesses like ours, which works with a multidisciplinary group of scientific experts to find and evaluate the most promising carbon removal technologies, and aggregates funds to help them lower their costs and scale up quickly.
Voice Box for the Planet
We are doing our best to use our platform as a voice box for the planet, educating ourselves and sharing what we learn with our travelers alongside us. If you have any questions or ideas about how we can better participate in combating climate change, we encourage you to get in touch with us.
It’s a Start…
Will you join us in taking a step further?
Even a small amount makes a BIG difference, as long as we are ALL taking action.
