VALA2008 – Contributing to the Environment

Climate change and global warming are among today's most pressing environmental issues, brought about by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Transport is Australia's fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenfleet is a non-profit organisation that provides a simple service to help reduce your impact on the environment. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 2 million trees in an effort to offset the carbon emissions produced by Australians.

VALA2008 would like to invite you to make a tax-deductible donation to Greenfleet via the VALA2008 Registration Form to help offset the carbon emissions produced by travelling to this year's conference. Below is an example of how much CO2 is produced per journey:

Return journey	Distance	CO2 per person	Tree total per person	Total cost per person
SYDNEY/MELBOURNE	1,413 km	0.27 tonne	2	$4.70
