For the first time, at #FSBI2025, we ran the #FSBIGreenTravel award to promote more sustainable travel to our conference. We were thrilled by the response and the efforts that people went to in order to lower their carbon emissions. In 1st place, we had Maddi Garate Olaizola! This is Maddi's story:

Just calculated my #FSBIGreenTravel CO2 in case @otolithgirl.bsky.social calculates the total carbon saved for the conference by delegates trying to be greener... I reckon the train and ferry combo (14kg) saves over 100kg CO2 compared to car and plane (125kg) Hull to Belfast.
The last leg of yesterday's #FSBIGreenTravel, crossing the Irish Sea, quick stop in Dublin and then up north! Such a smooth trip, and a new found love of ferries. The perfect start to #FSBI2025!
THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! Amazing effort Catie!!! #FSBIGreenTravel #FSBI2025 πŸ’ͺπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

We made it!!! Didn't need the extra half hour walk after google maps took us to a locked gate, but lovely to be here! #FSBI2025 #FSBIGreenTravel
Second leg of our epic journey to #FSBI2025 complete! Now at the Sky Bar on the ferry in case anyone else is also on the Stena line! 🍻 Picked up @domino-joyce.fishsci.com.ap.brid.gy on our way! Full disclosure: had to sneak into an uber after missing the metro, but IT WAS ELECTRIC! #FSBIGreenTravel
And so it begins…. !
