Every time we use energy produced through the burning of fossil fuels, there is a cost to the environment. This is part of our carbon footprint.

We developed code to calculate the CO2 emissions for travel by car, train, and plane. The results show that for a trip to Brisbane the train is the most environmentally-friendly mode of transportation.

Based on this analysis we chose to travel by train from Melbourne to Brisbane to attend ICONN 2020. See the blog posts below for updates on our journey.
