By Wayne PerskyRecent research from the University of Leeds discusses the outsized impact of long-distance travel on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, suggesting this is luminal a primary driver of global warming. Is it really? The article points out that despite accounting for less than 3% of all trips by UK residents, long-distance journeys (defined as trips over 50 miles one way) are responsible for a staggering 70% of all passenger travel-related carbon emissions (University of Leeds, 2024, July 2).[1] The disparity is even more pronounced when looking at international travel alone, which constitutes just 0.4% of total trips but contributes 55% of emissions. This stark contrast underscores the importance of targeting long-distance travel to achieve meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.

By Wayne PerskyA search of the archives of the Discussion and Support Forum associated with our website shows that most of us (although certainly not all of us), are perfectionists, overachievers, early adapters, type A personalities, or some combination of these traits. This article will focus on perfectionism, since it appears to apply to more microscopic colitis (MC) patients than the other listed attributes. Perfectionism is a mixed blessingPerfectionism can inspire us to perform at our best level, and produce high-quality work. But on the other hand, it can cause us to endure unnecessary stress and anxiety, and it can annoy those who work with us, or associate with us outside of work.
