Hawaii Wildlife Fund
The Hawaii Wildlife Fund's mission is to protect Hawaii's native wildlife, particularly coastal and marine species, by engaging and educating communities and volunteers, habitat restoration, marine debris removal, sea turtle protection, and conservation research.
Carbon Offsets
In recent years when large, in-person conferences were not possible, we realized the critical need and lasting value for meeting colleagues in person to network and discuss the newest and most exciting ideas in magnetism and magnetic materials. A large, vibrant, in-person MMM provides face-to-face interactions and a myriad of possibilities to make new connections and to be exposed to new developments. These opportunities are irreplaceable, and vital to continued development of our field.
However, as scientists and engineers, we are fully aware of the influence carbon dioxide emissions are having on our global climate and acknowledge that in-person attendance at MMM does have impact on carbon footprints. It is noteworthy that the new developments in magnetism and magnetic materials that our Conference enables have potentially beneficial impact on energy use and climate, however, we also urge our attendees to seek methods of offsetting emissions related to their travel to and from the conference. Many airlines offer methods of doing so, as do a number of other organizations worldwide.
If your airline does not offer a carbon offset program, you may opt to purchase carbon offsets when you register for the Conference. The Conference will match all carbon emission offset contributions by the first 200 attendees. A useful emissions calculator can be found here:
