    That’s a very sinical outlook, if the rich didn’t abuse travel like a private taxi service or didn’t shutdown any opportunity to advance more sustainable travel systems more people would have a better life and be able to travel on top. The 0.01% have the blame.

      There’s 8 billion people on earth, if even half that number traveled the environment would be toast. The only reason we’re alive right now is because 4 billion people are living in abject poverty.

      Sustainable travel doesn’t stop invasive species from tagging along, besides the fact, nothing an industrial population of 8 billion people do can truly be called sustainable.

      Sure travel is good in some ways, but is it worth the cost of being an exclusive club that destroys the planet?

        Sure, if everyone was travelling nonstop every week.
