I'm looking for a good way to offset the carbon emission from the 20+ flights I take a year.

Anyone has good recommendation of a reliable charity for this? Also, so far all calculators I've seen usually count the carbon emission for economy, but for longhaul flights in business class, I'm sure the actual emissions are significantly higher... I cannot avoid flying but I do think that I should at least pay the actual cost of the carbon emissions I cause.

Atmosfair (https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight/) has received positive press and reviews (https://www.test.de/CO2-Kompensation-Diese-Anbieter-tun-am-m...) in Germany.

Its calculation also includes the flight class, aircraft type, flight type (charter, scheduled) and they documented it as well (https://www.atmosfair.de/en/standards/emissions_calculation/...). We use it to offset our business flights. It's a charity and donations are tax deductible under German law.
