Sustainability - The Cyclist's way, Ep.2: Is performance compatible with sustainability?
Episode description
The bicycle has the power to be an important tool in our global fight against climate change . Yet, racing our bikes across the world clearly has a negative impact on the environment. For years, Maghalie has felt a guilt towards this paradox. In this series, she decides to investigate what she can do as an athlete, and what we can do as an industry, to diminish our impact on the environment. — This podcast series is supported by The Unscented Company.
-----------------
Ep. 2 — Now that Maghalie knows how impactful her season of racing is on the environment, she has to know what to do with the results. Maghalie speaks with Nathalie Knowles, a PHD in Climate Change who works at Protect Our Winters. Together, they discuss: Can offsetting carbon emissions really make a difference? What is the difference between offsetting and in-setting? Nathalie gives advice on sustainable tourism, and finally, we tackle a hard question: Is performance compatible with sustainability?
