That, at least, I can promise... No matter how you travel, seeing what we have in mind there will surely be good online connectivity at the venue in Estonia! That, at least, I can promise…

I think you're right they're different kinds of pollutants so difficult to make a proper comparison - the original article I'd read was in BBC Focus magazine months ago - the best I could find online was this: http://philbattos.blogspot.com/2007/04/green-travel-ship-or-plane.html which is not conclusive either. I tried to have a look at the site you gave to get an idea of costs (just out of interest) but my broadband has decided to operate at sub dialup speed tonight!#!

It's quite do-able... I've just not quite got the three days either side for the journey I need to make the trip. That is, unless a) anyone fancies coming on the journey and making it a working trip, and b) I can get good wireless net access along the way... :P I'm not 100% on the enviro-geek technicalities - but as I understand the key issues with flights is the altitude at which emissions are released - so a direct comparison with ferry doesn't work. But I'll look at the sums and check out if I do end up able to go... Well, I’d strongly encourage anyone thinking of going to take the train and ferry (http://seat61.com/Estonia.htm).

If I do I'm happy to meet up with anyone at the airport (here or there). Theres another event that may be of interest to people in the Youth Participation World - this one is in Ireland - details here: http://www.youthparticipation.ie/newsarchive You could get the boat to that one Tim - although from what I hear boats are worse polluters than planes (but maybe thats just the big ones?) lol now theres a predicament – should you be encouraging others to fly? ;-)
