Here's a very simple and common-sense solution to Global Warming.

Quit international tourism.

Think about it.

How well do you know your immediate surrounds?

The next overseas holiday you've planned, could be spent much better at home, investigating your own area. Local tourism also keeps your money in your community, you get to know your neighbours and fellow townsfolks a lot better, and you GET THOSE FILTHY DAMN AIRPLANES OUTTA THE SKY!

How big a percentage of the total of international airplane flights are dedicated solely to people on holiday, with more bucks than brains? STAY AT HOME! You'll get to meet your locals, save money, build up a sense of community, and contribute in a BIG WAY towards cleaning the atmosphere!

With the internet at hand, virtual tourism should be boosted. I know - I really want to see Greece, Italy, the Pyramids, etc., for myself. But right now, I think, we should prioritise more rationally than going oversees "because I can".
