Hawaii-based ER doc and climate advocate Darragh O’Carroll has produced a new PBS documentary about climate change and health titled Infected Earth.

Most of us love to travel. But travel’s “dark side“ is its environmental cost: the carbon dioxide and other pollutants created from the fossil fuels burned for travel by air, land, or sea. The Green Travel Guide from My Green Doctor offers ways to calculate and reduce your travel carbon footprint.
My Green Doctor is a free money-saving membership benefit provided through the Medical Society Consortium on Climate Change & Health. Use the discount code MGDMSCCCH when you register to get free access!
