Offset Your Emmissions
At the conclusion of the Global Eco 2009, the conference gas emissions footprint will be offset.

You are encouraged to offset your carbon emissions for the entire conference, however part thereof is a great start too. There are many organisations in Australia where you can offset your emissions, a useful tool is an online carbon calculator developed by the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre.

Besides calculating your carbon emissions for the conference the tool provides a number of tips on how to further reduce your impact and provides links to a list of carbon offset providers.

You are able to offset your travel carbon footprint too, some options are:

Flights
To offset your flight to Global Eco, Qantas offers AGO certified offset purchases against air travel or if you book your flight through Flight Centre, ask one of their staff to assist you. Alternatively you are able to calculate your own offset through the AGO accredited organisation Auscarbon International.

Car Travel
AGO accredited offset providers that calculate and offset car travel include Greenfleet.
