    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.
