Although a lot of factors were debated a few years ago regarding carbon offsets and other green travel initiatives, some of the forward movement on these topics has stalled or slowed. Some entities are still at work on it, however:

Carbon offsets may still be useful - look into this option, especially if - like me - you are concerned about the effect of emissions from commercial aircraft.

new book: Ethics for a Full World
This new text by Tormod Burkey addresses many of the environmental ethics challenges of this current period, and asks the grand-scale, looming question: how long can we avoid facing some of the most pressing issues without permanent damage to the earth's living systems and species, as well as the earth's human population?
‘A cure for narrow-mindedness, this provocative book should be required reading for politicians – and those who vote for them.’
– Brian Czech, President, Center for the Advancement of the Steady
State Economy, author of Supply Shock: Economic Growth at the Crossroads
‘A
fine, concise book which should enlarge the discussion on what in my
view is the most important need of humanity, an “Ethics for a Full
World”.’ – Paul Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies
Emeritus and President of the Center for Conservation Biology, Stanford
University.
