Departure, 16th of October 2010

Departure Day

WE got up later than the usual 7am - thankfully. We organised a minibus to take us from Lengenfeld to Dresden Airport as the train journey would have taken over 3 hours instead of the 1.5h by bus. Wise choice after all!

We got to Dresden Airport by 1pm and had a good 3 hours to go over course materials, stroll around to get some presents or relax from the full-on week.

Here some more interesting CO2 statistics:
- Carbon Emissions from transport for Group (to and from Germany - flights plus getting to and from Lengenfeld to the airport): 6700 Kg
- Carbon Emissions from transport throughout 1-week trip:  6900 Kg
- Carbon Emissions from flight (9 people): 6200 Kg
- To offset 7000 Kg of CO2 emissions will cost between £100 - £180 (mainly forestry projects  or Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) certified projects which is more expensive)

Thanks to everyone for contributions, insights, experiences shared. We are looking forward to hearing how everyone is able to use this exchange of Best Practice!
