Combine it with a similarly restrictive air travel regulation and I'm on board. Takes a lot of miles in a Hummer to equal a trip to Europe and back.

Ugh, just skipped a conference in Australia for that reason - decided I'm only doing long-haul flights for things I *really* care about.

"Honor is the gift a man gives himself."

I'm fairly low emissions but mostly by accident. I work from home and have until recently been too poor to travel like that. I just always found it annoying when people who are jetting around the globe complain about other people's cars. You on the other hand have a leg to stand on in that regard.

I put in a ton of flight miles and saw the world. No regrets, but I recognize I need to spend my carbon more judiciously now.

That said, I do truly believe travel makes you a better person, so if you can afford it now you should get out there and see it before it all burns down. Use my “credit”. :-)
