Abstract
Alas our research and its carbon footprint! I attended a “strange�? kind of ceremony recently, where two members of our faculty, Bob Mash and Elizabeth Wasserman, planted three trees in front of our faculty building in Tygerberg. In September 2007 they travelled to Kampala to participate in the Network: Towards Unity For Health Conference. On their return they convinced the Faculty to accept that buying trees to offset research related travel carbon emissions was a legitimate expense, and purchased 3 trees using their research funds.
