At the Scheuerberg of Eberbach in the Odenwald a roughly 250 million years old footprint with a length of 28 cm was found, that may have belonged to an erythrosuchid.
[Professional travels] How can we combine participation in #conferences, #scientific meetings, with #reducing researchers' carbon #footprint? By reducing the number of such meetings? By generalizing virtual meetings? By optimizing the location of these meetings?
I've just computed that if you want to #offset ONE #travel by #plane#Paris to #Rio (about 2880 tCO2, according to @labos1point5), by not sending #email (without attachment), I need to completely stop sending emails for the next ...
272 YEARS !
assuming an average of 10 mails per day, each working #day. The #carbon#footprint of an email is considered to be 4g CO2eq.
And if you want to weigh video-meeting vs. in-person meeting then if you had to drive an ICE car to a full-day in-person meeting the break-even distance for emissions is about 5km.
Yeah, if my memory is good, 8h of zoom is up to 192 gCO2eq (that's assuming 8h with the camera on and screen sharing), which is equivalent of ~1km with a gasoline car or ~1km by plane.
500 miles by air flight is roughly equivalent to 9 continuous months of zoom (with screen sharing and camera on).
"The environmental #footprint of social media #hosting": fascinating and absolutely read-worthy thoughts into #sustainable social networking, both environmentally and socially.
Expect more from life than dystopia, demand more from your life than fear. Reach out and up with strength and confidence, and live your life with freedom, grace, and great expectations.
Every email you send consumes #electricity and adds a tiny amount of #CarbonDioxide to the atmosphere. Since there are so many of us, and each one sends many emails a day, our combined email #carbon#footprint is enormous.
Our collective “thank you” emails are adding to #ClimateChange by 16,433 tonnes of carbon a year! These are the emails you send when you just want to say thank you in response to another email. #ClimateDiary
