How to double the power of your Aeroplan Miles

I know you too prefer to get mountain views thanks to manpower and not airplanes. (Credit: Lindsay Coulter)

Most "environmentalists" have a fear of flying.

It's not the turbulence. It's the carbon emissions.

If you try to fly less, buy less, walk more, make every day Meatless Monday, believe in paying it forward AND you're an Aeroplan member, here's a special invitation:

From Monday, February 29 till Sunday, March 6, Aeroplan will match your donated Aeroplan Miles -- up to 500,000 Miles -- to the David Suzuki Foundation. You can help power our work! (Flying less means you've collected fewer miles, but even 2,000 turns quickly into 4,000!)

How do we use Aeroplan Miles?

Last spring, two David Suzuki Foundation staff visited the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation in British Columbia to take part in a summit on the establishment of tribal parks -- conservation areas envisioned, declared and managed by local Indigenous communities. We're working with several Indigenous communities to support tribal parks in Canada. And we got where they are thanks to donated Aeroplan Miles.

Your donated Aeroplan Miles help lower our travel expenses and administrative costs. We reduce our air travel as much as possible, and always use high-quality carbon offsets. But when we use your donated miles for flights, Aeroplan offsets 100 per cent of those carbon emissions. So where it's essential to carrying out our work, your caring gift of Aeroplan Miles really help.

Donate your miles for good today!

Still curious about our Aeroplan partnership and how we minimize and offset staff travel? Visit our FAQ.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Coulter, a fellow Queen of Green
