Should (international) air travel be greatly restricted?

Air travel is destructive to the environment, because of its high carbon footprint and release of polluants. Moreover, air travel is one of the main vectors for transmission of diseases such as covid-19.

Should air travel, especially international travel, be restricted, either via high taxes and fees or via outright bans for most categories of travel?

Yes, air travel should be restricted, to save the environment and our health.

"Wonderful work! An insightful, integrative adventure into what makes humans flourish. Rob Kall shows us that we know how to do this, that most of human history was about connection and that there are ways to make it happen again. He offers real solutions and practical suggestions for taking back the world for community, connection and well-being""away from hierarchy, exclusion, and destruction. A new handbook for the necessary revolution!"
