Many of you posted some proposals on = the list, and many more sent me personal messages. So good news, there are = already lots of good solutions. We just have to find a way to implement the= m. So if you want to discuss this matter further, without polluting the audito= ry list, please join me here: https://join.slack.com/t/greenauditory/shared_invite/enQtNTg0MTMzNTAzNzk2LW= ZkYjI5MGRhMDE3M2E3YmFhNzU4NDdiZmNmYmQ2NWU3YWRkYTE4MDgwNGMyMDZhODY1ODZlYWFlM= GVkMmQxZmM Among all the interesting ideas, here some of the highlights. Thanks to Barbara Tillmann and John Sloboda, we are now aware of the work = of Richard Parncutt to organise a multi-hubs international conference. Alth= ough there is room for improvement, they were able to estimate an average d= rop of 70% of carbon emission compared to a traditional meeting. https://ww= w.youtube.com/watch?v=3DTPtDHidVyZE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DTPtDH= idVyZE&feature=3Dyoutu.be> Thanks to Emila Gomez, we have learned that the EU has put up guidelines on= how to organise sustainable meetings. http://ec.europa.eu/environment/emas= /pdf/other/EC_Guide_Sustainable_Meetings_and_Events.pdf The happy fellow of the MRC (Cambridge) also have plenty of good ideas, inc= luding remote conference attendance using robots (https://www.doublerobotic= s.com) or virtual conferences venue (https://www.virtualtradeshowhosting.co= m). They also suggest encouraging people to =91buy offsets=92 for every con= ference they attend by air. (https://www.flysas.com/gb-en/fly-with-us/trave= l-extras/co2-offsets/) It has also been mentioned many times that we should be =93champion for sci= ence =85 to amplify the SNR of evidence-based facts=94 on climate change (M= ike Winters).

Now what? I would like to start a group that will discuss these ideas furth= er and advocate to implement them at our next meetings.

As scientists, we should be fully aware of the danger of climate change, an= d when alarming studies on the environmental impact of man on our planet ar= e published, we should take action. We also understand that an effect is more likely to be significant with a l= arger =93n=94. So here is my question: Shouldn=92t we, as a large scientific community, tr= y to reduce our carbon footprint? If so, how? I would be interested in hearing your opinion on that issue. Here are some initial thoughts: 1] Make conferences more environmentally friendly. While organizing conferences we can try to reduce our plastic waste (avoid = plastic bottles, or plastic cup, use recyclable name tags=85), paper (no mo= re printed programs, note pads, or flyers into conferences bags). There are= plenty of eco alternatives for those. Also, we could reduce our consumptio= n of red meat (OK, I don=92t suggest to go vegan yet, just to reduce the am= ount of meat that will be served and avoid leftovers). 2] Deleting the archived emails from the auditory list from our personal in= box. As you know, data centers storing our emails consume a lot of energy. If ea= ch of the recipients of this list deleted the emails they receive after rea= ding them, it could mean hundreds of thousands less emails to store and as = much energy saved. These messages are stored in the auditory list archive a= lready so that can be accessed easily: http://www.auditory.org/postings/ 3] Reducing the amount of air travel for conferences. Yes, I know that networking is an essential part of our job; however, can w= e try to reduce the number of miles we are traveling each year? For example= , during the next big conference (ASA or ARO) instead of having everyone go= ing to the same city, can we organize the conference at two venues simultan= eously: one on the East coast and one on the West? People would join the cl= osest venue and talks would be transmitted via video conferences so that ev= erybody can attend all the presentations. These are of course just some suggestions. I am far from having all the goo= d solutions and ideas. I just hope that together we can find some.
