Jet-setters looking to give back can now do so with ease as the San Antonio International Airport (SAT) teams up with The Good Traveler program to kick off a pioneering effort aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. Travelers flying in and out of SAT will have the opportunity to donate to the San Antonio River Foundation, thereby choosing to partially offset the environmental impact of their journeys. This alliance represents a unique intersection of travel and environmental stewardship, directly confronting the emissions dilemma that modern-day flying presents.

During the SAT’s recent education fair, passengers got a chance to quickly engage with the local non-profit as they picked up their bags. The San Antonio River Foundation, alongside representatives from several city departments and environmental groups, came together to spread awareness about the work being done to preserve the San Antonio River.

This initiative is a first for San Antonio, effectively bringing together the public and private sectors to champion environmental causes. The Good Traveler program, renowned for offering carbon offsets to eco-conscious travelers, invites individuals to directly invest in sustainability. By choosing this route, travelers simultaneously support local non-profit efforts and take an active stance in the larger conversation about climate change and responsible travel.

Interest in the program has been mounting, indicating a clear concern among travelers to actively participate in environmental care. To learn more about how to get involved or to acknowledge the full range of environmental projects supported by these donations, potential donors and environmentally conscious voyagers are encouraged to visit The Good Traveler’s website.
