I can totally feel you there, for myself I've the same issue when I fly for work or yes (let's be honest at times also for leisure) Something I've started doing already 5 years ago is _at least_ to carbon offset all my flights through myclimate.org. I know it is not the solution but it can't hurt. I'm considering now to offset my (and OPENGIS.ch) total foot print Cheers Marco -- Marco Bernasocchi OPENGIS.ch CEO QGIS.org Co-chair ma...@opengis.ch <mailto:ma...@opengis.ch> +41 (0)79 467 24 70 <tel:+41794672470> OPENGIS.ch Logo <https://www.opengis.ch>
