The carbon footprint of academic conferences becomes a topic of increasing debate. It is important to consider whether the benefits derived from attending conferences in person outweigh the community's carbon footprint. Therefore, we need to evaluate the overall ecological consequences in relation to the perceived advantages. To that extent, we conducted a post-conference questionnaire survey among participants of the 44th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) 2022 in Pittsburgh, USA, seeking their feedback about the conference and experience from a sustainability perspective. In total, 53 participants filled out our survey. Overall, 8 of 42 respondents felt that the community's carbon footprint was not offset by the benefits of in-person attendance.
