On Friday, I will be leaving for Meeting Professional International (MPI)’s World Educational Conference (WEC) which is being held in Las Vegas, NV. MPI has actually done an impressive job being environmentally responsible. Here is a link to their master list of what they have done for this conference: http://www.mpiweb.org/cms/mpiweb/wec2008/wec_content.aspx?id=16982. The show is being held at Mandalay Bay which I would guess is the most green hotel on the strip at this time. Although, Harrah’s is catching up quickly! I am really impressed with their green program!
For the next two weeks, Marc and I will be traveling around the Southwest of the US. Starting in Las Vegas, NV, San Diego, CA, Phoenix, AZ, El Paso, TX, Roswell, NM, Albuquerque, NM, Arches National Park (Moab, UT), Grand Canyon (both north and south rims) and back to Vegas. We are driving 2,887 miles which is equal to .807 tons of Co2 and flying from NH to NV is 4,703 miles equals 1.881 tons of Co2. So I purchased a carbon offset to a wind farm for $36.00. I used NativeEnergy (www.nativeenergy.com) to help me purchase this offset.
I will be doing blogs from the road. I will be posting about things I see along the way. Stay tuned…
