Cars, like air travel, produce a lot of green house gases. Our obsession with cars has fueled a lot of environmental and even arguably social problems. They've made us lazier, fatter, and at least envrionmentally, dirtier. But you can't and I would argue shouldn't just eliminate them all together. Of course they should be cleaner, more efficient, and maybe even drive themselves, but they serve a useful role in the transportation ecosystem. Even as a devout hotelier I'd probably concede that there is a lot of useless corporate travel in our country. Somethings could be done just as easily via a video conference. Does this mean we should eliminate travel or that travel is bad? No way. It's necessary, but sometimes we just need to be a little smarter about choosing the right communications tool.T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16669084851603445269noreply@blogger.com
