Dear all,
At its General Meeting on 21 November, Wikimedia Hungary has elected a new
board as follows:
- Péter Gervai (grin), president (reelected)
- Bence Damokos, executive vice-president (reelected)
- Balázs Viczián (Vince), financial vice-president (reelected)
- Anna Sárközy
The price really depends on the project selected and can vary from less
than a dollar to close to $20 per tonne, and the cheaper projects do not
necessarily have less of an impact (more likely they have fewer levels of
independent verification).
Do note that apart from the company recommended on
those articles? If that doesn’t make a difference, then we have

In case it is interesting, for the tenders at my workplace that require
offsetting, we include this requirement:
"
Carbon offsetting will be achieved by means of projects of the following
type: CDM (Clean Development Mechanism), JI (Joint Implementation) or VER
(Voluntary Emissions Reduction),
In fact, there are countless offset projects in the $1-$15/tonne range, as
well: https://offset.climateneutralnow.org/allprojects
The total offsetting budget would not need to be too enourmous, yet it
could be impactful.
