In this live, Cédric Tumminello (Hello Mira) talks with Antoine Mondou of the association The Coral Planters to tackle an uncomfortable question head-on: is the digital nomad a major polluter? A former lifeguard and surf guide, Antoine spent ten years between New Zealand, Nicaragua, Vanuatu and Saint Martin before joining The Coral Planters in Hossegor, France. Antoine first explains why coral reefs matter: they host around 25% of marine biodiversity, act as a nursery for an entire food chain, and form the first barrier against waves, cyclones and coastal erosion. He walks through bleaching: above 29 °C, coral expels the zooxanthellae that feed it, and increasingly long and frequent heat episodes, notably with El Niño, no longer give it time to recover. Since 2017, the association has planted more than 45,000 corals across 11 restoration zones in six countries, working with paid local partners rather than volunteers flown in. On nomadism, the picture is nuanced: cruises for nomads embody fast consumption, but a nomad who flies once a year and then travels by bus or bike for six months does not necessarily have more impact than a sedentary person who flies every month. Slowmadism (staying longer, living at the local pace, supporting local businesses) reduces your footprint and also eases the loneliness many nomads feel. To get involved, Antoine recommends supporting local associations that already exist, giving time through useful skills (communication, SEO, fundraising) rather than going to plant corals, or adopting a fragment that is photographed every six months. To conclude, three simple decisions: fly less and choose slower transport, stay longer, and support local structures. Without blaming anyone, Antoine reminds us that climate change is mostly decided collectively, right down to the ballot box. Cédric also presents the next Hello Mira masterclass in Medellín, in November, in a co-living with local partners.
