Today is your day Boomer! When I think of global warming, I think cars and industry....the number one and two carbon polluters in our world today. But what about tourism? Biking, hiking, golf, skiing etc. No, not really the activity itself...but the problem is how you get there! Yup, since COVID, air travel is way up and Boomers are very guilty of this. A new report states "that air travel has increasingly become the transportation of choice for many travellers, with 47 per cent of international tourists arriving by air in 2019, up from 34 per cent in 2000." And of course those big jets burn fuel like you wouldn't believe. And how about a cruise ship? Imagine how much gas or diesel is consumed by a 3000-passenger ship crossing the Atlantic? I personally know a Boomer couple going on three flights and cruises this year. We all have to do our part Boomers. Climate change is real and frightening as we head into 2024. Happy new year!
