Episode Details

Going on vacation may be fun for you, but it can be hard on the planet.
The negative environmental impacts of tourism are substantial.  Beaches are overrun, forests are leveled, the lifestyle of local populations is compromised, air and water are polluted, and animal habitat is destroyed to make way for restaurants and hotels. 
Trip on over to our podcast or website where we take a close look at beach vacations, African safari's, cruise ships, animal and wildlife attractions, and the shocking impact Instagram is having on driving mass tourism.  We also examine the eco-tourism industry and other green alternatives.
