We’ve been delighted to see so much interest in the ‘sustainable’ aspect of the Cardiff Translation Unconference. But we don’t want anyone to be put off by it – just remember: “it’s not about a handful of people making a massive change; it’s about lots of people making little changes”.
To us, sustainability is a whole spectrum of things: from not providing single-use cups to getting rid of printed material, from checking carefully where the lunch is sourced to understanding how far people are coming and what chances they have of reducing their carbon footprint. But we want to make it clear: even though public transport and self-propulsion (read: cycling and/or walking) are the ideal transport options, we’re also pragmatic and understand that, for some of you, getting to and from Cardiff may necessarily involve air or car travel. And some of you on our Facebook page have already come up with some great ideas on how to make that journey more sustainable:
Don’t worry – we’re not going to police how you get here, and we certainly won’t shame anyone into feeling bad. But we’re certain that if each individual tweaks just one thing, then we’re well on our way to making the unconference more sustainable. Apart from the handful of ideas we share in this post, do you have any other suggestions on how we can make the unconference more sustainable? Please do comment below. We'd love to hear your ideas!
