Integrating carbon data into client quotes

Are you embedding emissions data in proposals yet, and if so, how? I’m targeting a 25% footprint reduction across 2026 itineraries and need a clean way to compare rail vs short‑haul flights and surface GSTC‑aligned hotels — what tools in your flow (Thrust Carbon, SQUAKE, Google Flights emissions) help clients choose without feeling sold to?

I add one neutral line under each option — “est. emissions: 128 kg CO2e” — pulled from https://squake.earth/ and let clients toggle a cost‑per‑ton‑CO2‑saved sort so rail vs short‑haul stands out without a nudge. Small caveat: Google Flights’ figures swing with cabin class, so I only use them as a check — want a 2‑min Loom of the Airtable→SQUAKE→PDF setup?

I show ‘CO2 per hour saved’ next to price/time — think calories-per-minute on a menu — so short-haul flights only beat rail when the time savings are huge; rail data from https://www.ecopassenger.org/, flight emissions from Google Flights, and GSTC hotel badges via Thrust Carbon tags. I sanity-check aircraft type since it swings the numbers; would a simple ‘carbon budget’ line in the quote help you hit 25%?

I use a ‘carbon budget’ slider with Travalyst factors (https://travalyst.org) and auto-highlight GSTC hotels; include business-class multipliers?
