Summary
Tourism has the power to educate, connect people, and support local communities—but it also carries environmental responsibilities. In this episode, Erika Schiller is joined by Meghan Flynn , Associate Vice President of Program Strategy, and Bryn Geddes , Sustainability Manager at Road Scholar , to discuss how Road Scholar is making educational travel more sustainable. They share lessons learned from measuring Scope 3 emissions, collaborating with suppliers, reducing plastic and food waste, and building sustainability into hundreds of travel itineraries across the globe. The conversation also highlights why progress matters more than perfection, demonstrating how practical actions, thoughtful partnerships, and continuous improvement can help shape a more sustainable future for tourism.
