I don't think we're going to fix this until we understand our obsession with travel, which is becoming clearer to me all the time. I say we're a culture who has separated itself off from connection to place. We're idealists, we live ideals, and that also makes us reject space. All places are just points on a map, to us. We're a culture of sightseeing, who consume the planet to try heal our lack of connection to place. Not saying we don't like our towns and cities, we often do. Liking them is not connection - we like the places we travel to as well. https://theconversation.com/its-time-to-wake-up-to-the-devastating-impact-flying-has-on-the-environment-70953
