It is getting more and more difficult for me to advocate for any travel at all. I did the few hundred miles necessary to see this one because it was my 1st. But I can't find it in me to do air travel to see something. Our home here is on fire and closing my eyes and running around the world pretending it isn't is the wrong way to handle it. I will never forget seeing totality unless Dementia or Alzheimer takes it away from me down the road. But travel of any kind does damage to our environment. It comes down to degrees of harm. Car, truck, bus, train, plane, even Musks Hyperloop will have a price to build and operate that the planet will have to pay. The batteries for my ebike are probably pretty hard on Mother Earth to make. When was the last time you walked anywhere just because it was the right thing to do? When was the last time you remember being hungry, really hungry? We have to stop living (and eating) so high on the hog. Future generations are counting on us now. ... and Rachel, you could have always shot him and rented an automatic.
