There is a lot of talk and advertisement for eco-tourism,
meaning ecological tourism: to visit the natural highpoints of
our planet. More important in my view should be the term
edu-tourism, the education of a right ecological care of nature
when the tourists go home. More generally I have increasing
doubts about tourism, which has become a major source of
pollution and destruction of the Earth through carbon dioxide
emitted by transports, especially long distance aviation,
construction of hotels, roads and airports etc.
Tourism must absolutely be seriously reviewed in all its aspects. It has become a new, colossal business, a novel cause for more Earth destruction. If measured by ecology economists, world tourism might show negative results for the Earth. Good ecology starts at home. This is where it should be loved, taught and practiced. As a first improvement I recommend that people should ecodiscipline themselves and go on tourism only every second, third or fifth year. The Earth: "Dear Robert, I thank you for saying this. What I see happening to me through tourism is often destruction. Education tourism, good ecology at home and personal ecodiscipline should be the major approaches." Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
Every day we should thank our body, our cells, our eyes, our
ears, our heart, our hands, our brain, our lungs, our legs,
our stomach, our bowels and all other organs for serving us so
well, so faithfully and so long. We should ask them for
forgiveness when we mistreat them, poison them with drugs,
tobacco and alcohol, risk them and do not love them dearly
enough.
