Update on last meeting

It's interesting to notice a common theme coming up in the last couple of meetings - flights and offsetting! Flights is the big elephant in the room with carbon reduction. It's the single biggest contributor to our emissions as a group, the easiest one to reduce or eliminate, and the one that no-one wants to give up! It'll be really interesting to see how flights have affected everyone's emissions totals at the end of the year...

So in looking to come up with a least-worst approach (after avoiding and then reducing), we've been looking into offset providers with a view to using the most effective provider available. Steph has found a handy website at http://www.carbonoffsetguide.com.au/ that allows you to search for providers using a number of criteria.

Remember, of course, that not emitting in the first place is far more effective than offsetting!
