Should You Go Abroad

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should you go abroad,

consider the carbon footprint

of your excursion.

That's the Gift you leave

to Climate Disruption

and the Burden you forward

to Present and

Future Generations.

As a modern day version

of  the Crusaders of Old,

do not try to convert

everyone you see

to North American

patterns of consumption.
The Planet can't sustain it.

Instead,

consider staying home.

And if you need to go,

seek to learn

from every experience.
