If you thought it could help save the planet, would you give up flying?

On the final episode of KUOW’s podcast terrestrial, Ashley Ahearn asked exactly that question. What she found surprised her. She joined Jeannie Yandel in the studio on The Record to talk about what she learned from a woman who stopped flying a decade ago. Jeannie and Ashley also discussed what they’ve learned about their own families and themselves while living a long plane ride away.
