S2 Ep40: Should We Feel #FLYSHAME?

Did you know that in Sweden, flying is NOT something to be proud of? The notion that you should feel guilty every time you board a plane is a feeling plaguing Scandinavia.  In this first part of our two part sustainable travel series, we're joined by Evelina Utterdahl, an environmentalist, climate activist, and sustainable traveler who publically pledged to stop flying entirely. We discuss what impact flying has on the environment and how we can reduce this impact. We also explore the nuance of #FlyShame: the privilege and accessibility that's needed to give up flying altogether.  Guest: Evelina Utterdahl Travel writer focused on travel that doesn't cost the earth. @earthwanderess - http://www.earthwanderess.com/ Resources: Carbon Footprint Calculator: https://calculator.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx?tab=3 Climate change: Which airline is best for carbon emissions? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47460958 If you're a fan of the show, don't forget to subscribe, rate and review Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast!
