re: "Do we need more rockets in the stratosphere?" (BP, August 27, 2021)
Dear editor,
Or rather than cramming into economy class or reclining in expansive privacy to visit a culture of which they are essentially ignorant, people who care about the planet could just get over the tourism that gawks uncomprehendingly at the artifacts and quaint customs of other cultures and instead divert their time and resources to actually learning about other cultures by attending university or other study options where they they learn the languages, the literature, the history, and other aspects of other cultures, which they might then visit with some appreciation.
Of course, there are sound reasons for visiting a country other than a veneer of interest in its culture.
