Daniela Papi's Blog

I spent most of this week in Switzerland. I was invited to speak at a UNEP conference on sports and the environment. I found it ironic that I had flow half way around the world to talk about CO2 emissions... such is the nature of such conferences I guess.

Anyway, when writing what I was going to present I realized that ALL of PEPY's tours need to be zero-impact. If we are going to teach and talk environment, we can't be handing out empty textbooks from which to learn. We must set the example. So, from now on, all PEPY's tours will be zero impact. You can of course off-set your carbon emissions on sites like www.carbonfund.org (check out the Pearl Jam website for others as Pearl Jam offsets all the emissions from their tours), but with PEPY we will do replanting here in Cambodia and fund replanting projects to off-set the carbon emissions from our non-cycling tours.
