Calculate & Purchase Your Offsets

We know that not one size fits all. Delta has developed a three-tiered calculation system based on how much time you want to spend determining your carbon footprint. Use the buttons below to purchase offsets immediately, or use one of the other methods for calculating your footprint before you purchase offsets.

One Click

The average U.S. citizen emits about 20 metric tons of greenhouse gases a year.(1) You can also purchase more, or less, depending on what you’re comfortable with, using the buttons below.



The earth buttons below provide a quick method of purchasing one to 100 tons of carbon offsets.

Some Clicks

This method uses a limited set of calculators to estimate how many tons of greenhouse gas emissions you emit annually. You can find out if you are roughly above or below average.




Many Clicks

We're currently developing a method with more calculators and more variables to let your inner accountant go wild! This one may take some time to complete, but would give you a better picture of where your emissions come from. Hold on to your abacus — the "Many Clicks" calculator will be available shortly.


Purchasing Platform

Sample Certificate

After you’ve figured out how many carbon offsets you want to purchase, you’ll be directed to our storefront. You can adjust how many tons of offsets you want to purchase. Currently, we charge $8.00 per metric ton. Once you complete your purchase, you will receive an e-mail confirming your offsets, as well as an official Delta Offsets Certificate. We don’t do the widgets and hoo-hahs — a piece of paper cuts down a tree and a plastic tag uses petrochemicals. Let’s keep it simple and environmentally-friendly.
