I think any serious sustainability initiative should make a top priority
finding effective ways to meet that do not involve travel.

The Network for Emerging Leaders in Sustainability (NELS)The Network for
Emerging Leaders in Sustainability (NELS) is a new organization for
early-career professionals (and professionals who are new to the topic of
sustainability) who are interested in building bridges with peers in DC-area
agencies and organizations. The Network includes leaders with diverse
backgrounds and expertise, from natural resource management to energy policy to
public health. NELS members share a common interest in taking a
multidisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges -considering the
economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of these problems.
Through NELS, these emerging leaders will foster relationships that enable them
to more effectively bring about a sustainable future.
To become a NELS member and be added to our mailing list, please send an email
