Summary

Care More, Be Better is officially two years old! To celebrate this milestone, Corinna Bellizzi talks with return guest Beth Craig of Own it Economics about reducing carbon footprint in extravagant cruise vacations. They delve into how wasteful these trips really are, which requires a high carbon cost to run and tons of waste to be dumped into the sea. Beth explains how to contribute to carbon neutrality and negativity in the cruising industry and beyond without coming across as overwhelming. She explains how a few dollars can go a long way in paying for your carbon footprint, saving the planet one small effort at a time. To mark the podcast’s anniversary, Corinna shares a musical performance by Donna Grantis at the Canadian Climate Music Summit that features a soundbite from one of the show’s episodes.
