I think considering we're all about to be responsible for releasing several tons of carbon apiece on our "sustainable development" trip, everyone should take a look at this or other carbon/footprint calculators. It's fascinating stuff. If you're feeling especially eco-conscious, there are lots of companies that will calculate your footprint and then give you an opportunity to offset your impact on the environment. Different companies use different methods: Some plant trees, others buy carbon credits on the open market, some use your money to buy wind power or other eco-power options.
