Sanitation[edit | edit source]

  • (compost toilets?)

--- can be a problem because of Dutch authorities

Catering[edit | edit source]

  • plastic (->bring your own cup!) + Alternative plastics here =>plastics
  • Raise awareness about drinking tap water.
  • Bits & Bäume had apples for free
  • Replace straws (for drinks) by macaroni noodles
  • standard re-usable dishes for food stalls and have dish washer angel shifts? possible huge blocker for camp: water usage. Degradable dishes + waste separation

Waste[edit | edit source]

  • trash recycling (different bins for different trash types)

Organisation[edit | edit source]

  • monitor consumption of energy and water. Monitor production of trash.
  • Calculate total congress footprint and display publicly (nerds love statistics)
  • establishing sustainability team. A climate-neutral/sustainability team should go into all the sub-orga teams to coordinate, because the orga structure is decentralised
  • most attendees wouldn't want to share their travel data, so we should not require that

Information[edit | edit source]

  • monitor consumption of energy and water. Monitor production of trash.
  • Calculate total congress footprint and display publicly (nerds love statistics)
  • Use PV instalation from the camp to share knowledge so that the people installing more PV on the homes and companies.
  • sustainability has both social and environmental parts
  • water and electricity is good for statistics
  • most attendees wouldn't want to share their travel data, so we should not require that
  • a carbon emissions dashboard like the NOC dashboard/CCC. even if we can't be completely carbon-neutral, all camp/congress participants can look at dashboard and understand what their carbon footprint is split up into categories

Boats - harbour[edit | edit source]

Transportation[edit | edit source]

  • Private cars were avoided as much as possible

Keep climate change and ecology separate Climate change is a problem affecting ecology Even if climate change is solved, ecology still needs solving


Carbon emissions[edit | edit source]

  • offset the emissions from the event (either only the emissions of the event itself, or also include the emissions from the participants. The latter option is much more data-intensive and leads to higher emissions to be offset.
  • encourage people to travel by train and not by plane
  • ticket + carbon compensation- 100 kg CO2 per person, which seams feasible to compensate. The emmissions are mostly coming from traveling. A voluntary model so that everone can decide during the booking to compensate or not.
