Dispelling Misconceptions About Sustainable Travel

The words "sustainable travel" are tossed around in the industry, but what do they really mean? In this talk Calen Otto will answer the question, "What Is Sustainable Travel, really?"

After traveling the world as an anti-speciesist, eco-minded journalist with a background in food justice Calen will discuss how they got into sustainable travel and why it's important for all of us, whether we're "nature people" or not. We'll focus on 4 categories that come up in travel: food, accommodation, transportation, and gear.

Attendees will walk away with:

• Actionable tips on how to travel greener
• Ways to make their travel (and everyday lives) more sustainable and ethical
• Feelings of empowerment and hope for the future

This talk is for anyone who loves travel, cares about the planet, and is invested in a more balanced, compassionate future!

About Our Speaker:

Inspired by their love of meeting strangers and sharing their incredible stories, they created the Unruly Travel & Alternative living blog and podcast.

So far, Calen has been to 5 continents, 35 states, 21 National Parks, and more than 30 countries as a vegan and is passionate about doing the least amount of harm wherever they go. They wrote and published ‘The Art Of Unruly Travel On A Budget’ travel guide book to make travel more accessible to all.
