Travel That Matches Your Values with Dr. Erika Moseson
Episode Description
One of the reasons we love travel is that when we experience different cultures and meet new people, it enriches our lives. But how do we balance our desire to see the world with the negative impact of our footprint on the environments and communities we want to experience?
Dr. Erika Moseson is a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Physician in Portland, Oregon. She’s also the host of the Air Health Our Health podcast, about the air we breathe and how it impacts our environment and communities. Erika loves travel, but she’s also concerned about the climate implications of the travel industry and wants to explore how we can experience the benefits of travel while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Flying has a huge effect on the climate, but tune in this week to discover some simple ways you can pursue your travel hobby while mitigating the environmental impact of your trips. We’re also discussing how Erika has been able to use points to book some amazing economy travel experiences that allow her family of five to see the world with freedom and flexibility.
