I saw no criticism of a named individual, but of the Foundation. With
nearly three hundred employees and a budget of a hundred million dollars,
when the Foundation commits to sending a representative to a meeting, it
may reasonably be expected to have the resources to deliver on that
Surely it doesn't really matter who within the organisation is racking
up the CO2? More important is the fact that the Foundation
acknowleges itself responsible for about 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emission.
At an offset price around $100/tonne, presumably we may expect that as

Paulo,
There is nothing more for us to do, since community input closed on
the 15 September. The community will next be consulted on the

What exactly do you suggest that you or the rest of us could actually
