Sustainable Travel: Being Greener On-The-Go

Once you know tourism is responsible for 8% (and growing) of global greenhouse emissions, it becomes clear that we Planetarians have an opportunity—obligation perhaps—to consider our travel impact and how to do it better. It's not an easy subject, but this week we bring honesty and levity as we discuss: The breakdown of tourism's carbon footprint. The advantages and disadvantages of driving vs. flying. Carbon offsetting your travel emissions. The power of bringing your Planetarian values with you on vacation. SustainbleTravel.org's inspiring travel pledge. Before you make your summer travel plans, tune into this episode, and see if it inspires you to travel differently.
