I run international study tours for undergraduate students, and have become increasingly conscious of the hypocrisy in learning about international development and community challenges, especially those due to climate change, while so egregiously contributing to climate change through extensive flights and indirect connections.
I commit to flying less, and promoting carbon neutral conferences.
