traffic.jpgSo should 80 school teachers be flying to Marbella for a professional development event?  Found myself getting upset with all the fuss today, as why shouldn't a group that is hardly overpaid be allowed to travel to work hard for a couple of days and maybe enjoy an hour by the pool?  Hearing the families and journalists today you'd think it was purely a holiday.  Then again...
...the real question has to be why it is better value to fly 80 people to Marbella and put them up for a couple of nights than it is to go to a conference venue in the UK.  Definitely less carbon in that you'd think, but never heard that raised today.  There's the problem - I can't go so you can't go beats anybody on either side of the argument thinking about what is best for the planet.
