10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It’s time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.
And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they’re doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.
And then they’ll turn around and claim they’re “helping the local economy” trying to justify it. It’s colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.
And wtf is wrong with you, you can’t relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can’t be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y’all need to chill it with the air travel!
This is why i only go to Hotels / hostels in vacation. Airbnb was a nice idea in the beginning but Turned out to be horrible for cities.
And a tip for Hotels and hostels. Maybe do the search with booking hostelworld and co but book via the Website of the place you want to stay. Booking and hostelworld take 20% of the hotels of the price you pay for a night. They can do this because they can threaten the ho(s)tels to not appear in their List anymore and no one will find them then. They are evil too.
