It’s a pity you and your fellow travelers are destroying the world with your carbon emissions. Good thing you wear a mask tho.

With our Eco-Skies® CarbonChoice carbon offset sponsorship program, we’ll purchase carbon offsets on behalf of our customers so all their corporate air travel with us is 100% carbon neutral.

So they will buy carbon indulgences for your corporate trip to Bora Bora but not regular travelers?

It's presented as an option on checkout for any United flight, or you can do it directly after the fact at https://united.conservation.org/. $34 for my round trip.
