S2 EP7: UK to Sahara by public transport - can a train take you further (mentally) than a plane?
from Mind, Brain and Planet · host Paul Howard-Jones
Paul explores how surface travel may effect the brain in different ways compared to flying. Could the sciences of mind and brain help reduce carbon emissions due to flying? Paul spends 3 days travelling from Bristol to the Sahara desert by public transport, and reports on how that feels compared with a 3 hour flight from his local airport. On a cycle tour around Marrakesh, we meet Yessir who explains what it's like to live in a country where droughts are becoming more common, and we find out why scary public information campaigns may not always change public behaviour.
