DRUID goes green(er)
Carbon friendly DRUID
All DRUID conferences aim to be carbon neutral. DRUID sources green conference materials, local vegetarian food and unbottled drinking water. Until lower-emission technologies are generally available DRUID offsets 0.3 ton of CO2 for each delegate (Verified Carbon Standard and Gold Standard), covering the conference’s estimated carbon footprint of catering, venue, lodging and local transport.
Carbon friendly travel
DRUID urges all DRUID25 delegates to consider travelling to Toronto by the most carbon friendly means possible. Also consider carbon offsetting your travel. Carbon offsets are by no means a sufficient way of compensating for the negative environmental footprint of air travel, but it is the bare minmum we can do at this time. Providers of carbon offsets are many and their merits are often debated. DRUID recommends using certified carbon offsets (CDM or Gold Standard), for instance, through Atmosfair.de.
