Conference Carbon Footprint report
Cylch enlisted the help of The Web of Hope to calculate the Carbon Footprint of the 2006 conference. An estimate of 20.81 tonnes of CO2 was released into the atmosphere as a result of the conference taking place. Cylch will be off-setting these emissions using 'deep green' strategies such as investing directly in renewable energy technologies.
