The event that you are attending is using a\u00a0nearly carbon-neutral (NCN)\u00a0conference approach\u00a0developed at UCSB\u00a0that can reduce conference\u00a0carbon footprints by a factor of 100 or more. In this talk, Hiltner details the problem and UCSB&#8217;s\u00a0NCN approach.

R<span class=\"s1\">espond directly to a particular question\/comment\u00a0by way of the little &#8220;reply&#8221; below it. The vertical threadlike lines are there\u00a0to\u00a0make it easier to see which part of the discussion (i.e. &#8220;thread&#8221;) you are taking up.\u00a0You can choose to be notified via email (see below) whenever <\/span>a question, answer, or comment is posted to this particular Q&amp;A. Because\u00a0the email notification will contain the new comment in its entirety, you can both follow the discussion as it is unfolding, as well as decide whether you would like to step in at any\u00a0point. You can choose to receive email\u00a0notifications for as many of the conference Q&amp;A sessions as you like, as well as stop notifications at any time. Because the Q&amp;A sessions will close at the end of the conference, all email notifications\u00a0will also end at this time. Although only registered conference participants can pose questions and make comments, Q&amp;A sessions are visible to the public and will remain so after the conference has ended, as we hope that they\u00a0will become cited resources.<\/p>\n<div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACTIVISTS, ARTISTS, AND ACADEMICS BUILDING JUST CLIMATE FUTURES TOGETHER A NEARLY CARBON-NEUTRAL CONFERENCE Introduction to Nearly Carbon-Neutral (NCN) Conferences [easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12640 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;UCSB&#8217;S ACTIVISTS, ARTISTS, AND ACADEMICS CONFERENCE!&#8221;] Air Travel: Academia\u2019s Biggest Dirty Little Secret Ken Hiltner Air travel to conferences, talks, and meetings can account for a third of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17273"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17273"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18173,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17273\/revisions\/18173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
