Why do people think holiday culture is cool?

Firstly, the impact of the flights isn’t slim. It’s a lot to deal with. Reports suggest that we have 120 years before the planet becomes inhabitable and yet a return flight to New York and back from London is worth 3 days. Doesn’t that seem irresponsible?

Secondly, I don’t get this thing where people go and sit in the sun? How are we as a society so entitled that we believe we’re allowed to shorten life on the planet to go and sit in the sun?

Don’t get me wrong, I support people that go on holiday for inspiration or to learn and then come back and offer the world something that would make it a better place, but to get a suntan? Why can’t they get a boat? Or a blimp? Or even invent a new method of travel? Make star gates a reality? Okay, that’s a bit far, but you get what I mean. Flying is too expensive for Planet Earth to afford, so why do we insist upon it for recreation?

    Blimps have their own problems, like the choice for lifting gas is either helium, which we are running out of, or hydrogen, but we don’t want hindenburg 2
