First meeting of the North Brisbane CRAG

We are up and running! Our first meeting was held on Monday the 8th, with 7 enthusiastic people getting together to eat almond M&Ms, estimate their 2008 emissions and talk about the way forward. Quite a few people who wanted to come couldn't make it, and their support is greatly appreciated!

The discussion was wide-ranging, as we talked about ideas for caps on emissions, how to approach fees for exceeding the cap and a host of other issues. The big revelation from estimating our 2008 emissions was how much air travel blows your carbon budget! Local holidays are definitely the way to go for the carbon-concerned.

The next meeting will be in February, and it would be great to see a host of new faces. Let's aim big and go for 30 members by the next meeting!

Carbon-neutrally yours

Omar
