I had to fill out a form of several pages, detailing the trip / check boxes ... indicating where I stayed (hotel, residence, travel, meals etc) on that trip it was 3 days with relatives (no extra efforts) and 2 days in hotel (with all the extras ... meals, restaurant staff, housekeeping, hotel staff ie the room cleaning, front counter, laundry, vacuum, etc) ... ODDLY each of the 5 travel status days had the same weighting on carbon impact on the report completion ... Since my supervisor required the form (and they had also been at a conference around the same time staying in a hotel) I questioned 1) why there as no difference at all in the daily per diem carbon impact ? and, if so 2) what was the point of the report ? 3) the report itself had a carbon impact ... (time, ink, paper). They had no answer, other than ... it has to be filled out accurately. My conclusion was that it was a bogus effort, under provincial government direction, and that money or fines (if not following policy) were reason enough. It was weird. Forget the fact that I drove to the conference, VS flights and rental cars ... I don't think THAT distinction even made a difference. This was about 8 yrs ago.Do they have a form or website that list all your carbon production or how did you find out there was no difference?
Things that make you go hmmm ???
