A big part of our society activities centers around meetings. We make presentations, interact with other scientists from around the world, engage in learning during workshops, and gain understanding of the world around us through our speakers. One such fantastic meeting, the Aquatic Sciences Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, had a strong focus on resilience and recovery following natural disasters. Many of the plenary talks were given by local speakers. Approximately 250 high school students came and interacted during the Education Fair, and we gave back through organized outreach activities.Plans are well underway for the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting in San Diego, California, and ASLO will have a joint summer meeting on 07–12 June 2020 with the Society for Freshwater Science in Madison, Wisconsin. The theme for the meeting is “Sustaining Aquatic Ecosystems Under Global Change.” Steve Carpenter (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Nancy Grimm (Arizona State University) are the chairs. Plans also are under way for the 2021 Aquatic Sciences Meeting to be held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Of course, attending meetings means traveling. I recently read an article which stated that the airlines are struggling with the goal of going green. Virgin Atlantic and United have tried using biofuel to the billions of gallons of fuel used, but we are talking about 0.03%. The EPA says that US commercial airlines’ carbon dioxide emissions increased 6.2% from 2010 to 2016. Worldwide, air transportation accounts for about 2% of global carbon emissions. New airplanes are more efficient.
