Kudos for having an interesting take. I assume you already live by these rules you’d set for others? If so, you have my respect. Not my vote though, I travel frequently and far for both pleasure and business.

Yes, I do.

Consider a more environmentally friendly way to live your life.

Also, when you fly (i.e.: going higher in the atmosphere), you get exposed to radiation.

The Roman Empire had tourists. (We know because written accounts of trips survive.)

They probably didn't arrive by airliner, though.

I don’t see how this is different from tourism.
