Why not? We do have some power here, in that we provide a desirable,
mature, well respected product. The QGIS project adopting an explicit
environmental policy (in whatever form that takes) does give a good
message to other projects and even to our users that this is a serious
issue.</pre>

I absolutely agree with you here<br>

Here's a point I'm stuck on. I strongly believe that these in-person
meetings are crucial for QGIS, and have gone a long way to promote the
growth, friendliness, and welcoming nature of the community. Removing
them **would** harm the QGIS project. It's been a number of years now
since I've been able to attend one in person, and I'm feeling the
disconnect from the community as a result.</pre>

I also feel the in person meeting are a great enrichment to the
project.<br>

I REALLY want to attend the Nodebo meetup/conference later this year,
but at the same time I'm consciously aware of how bad the impact of
the flight from Australia to Europe is (and there's zero alternative
options available for this). I'm honestly not sure what the right
choice for me to do is here...</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>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)</p>
<p>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<br>

<p>Cheers</p>
