Green your travel
If you are concerned about the carbon dioxide emitted by travelling to EWEC, why not consider supporting a renewable energy project from the Koru Foundation?
The Koru Foundation is the chosen charity of the EWEA. It develops community-managed, small-scale renewable energy projects in developing countries that address energy poverty and do not contribute to climate change.
Climate change is likely to hit the poorest in the world the hardest. Supporting the Koru Foundation’s project portfolio is a positive way to invest effectively in poverty reduction and climate change mitigation. It helps those communities most at risk build resilience and adapt to climate change.
Because of the unique way the charity is funded it guarantees that 100% of the money donated for projects is spent entirely on projects. Like an hybrid wind and solar system which will provide electricity to a community in central Nicaragua, or a micro-hydro scheme in the Peruvian Andes that will power schools, homes and medical centres in remote communities.
Yes, I would like to donate the following amount to the Koru Foundation, 100% of which will be spent on a renewable energy project in a developing country. To donate click on the amount or go to www.justgiving.com/korufoundation/donate/
€15 Short haul: A return flight to Marseille from all European destinations for one person should result in less than 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent being emitted.
€30 Medium haul: A return flight from Marseille to Miami would emit around 3.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
€50 Long haul: A return flight from Perth, Australia to Marseille for one person can emit as much as 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Visit the Side event organised by the Koru Foundation on Wednesday 18 March from 14:00 – 16:00.
