I am reducing my emissions by 1) only going to conferences that I am directly involved in; 2) taking family vacations at the same place as my conference, if possible; 3) refusing to give talks that are abroad or that involve long flights.

While this isn’t possible all the time, and I can definitely still reduce my flights and my emissions, having this carbon budget really helps me focus on what’s important and how I can do my part in fighting climate change.
