A carbon footprint is a representation of the effect an individual or an organization has on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced (measured in units of carbon dioxide). Footprinting is now widely used around the globe as an indicator of environmental sustainability. It can be used to measure and manage the use of resources throughout the economy. It is also commonly used to explore the sustainability of individual lifestyles, goods and services, organizations, industry sectors, neighborhoods, cities, regions and nations.

The amount of CO2 produced by 282 presenters and visitors from 32 countries and reference destinations all over the globe for TBLI CONFERENCE™ EUROPE 2008 as of October 28, 2008 is
