Anybody got a final calculation of the Net-net Carbon, Methane, NOx, and Soot contribution -vs- sinks from the conference? Need an LCA of the overall impacts of massive eco meetings.

I like Glynis's idea! We have the time to study now. I would also be a great boost and having the LEED credentials on our resumes. Are there any free study tools to use to prepare for the exam? Can you keep us posted if there is any progress? I am sure there are many professionals that would be interested.
