the first time i saw a blog of yours i simply had to look at it because i was very curious what the infamous tower tak3r is doing besides being an awesome wc3 player. I didn't watch any of your videos completely, just skip through them. I think one time i posted a reply. It was regarding a helicopter tour you did over a glacier somewhere in new zealand iirc. You said something like its sad to see those glaciers melt and that they wont exist in the not too distant future. That made me angry. Because this kind of behavior - a helicopter tour for the sake of entertainment - is a prime example of the short-sightedness and irresponsibility of mankind that is causing the disappearance of the glaciers. So my anwser was probably very rude. Which i want to apologise for. I also want to apologize for drawing conclusions about you based on assumptions. I'm sorry about that. In my eyes, the assumption that your travels serve the purpose of entertainment and are very harmful to the environment in relation to the whole of humanity seems understandable. I suspect you've certainly given this a lot more thought than I have. So I would be very grateful if you would tell me your view of things in this context: Do your trips serve the sole purpose of entertainment or do they also serve the purpose of science, for example. How do you travel between the different countries and continents, and can you represent this to the general public with a clear conscience? Thank you, good luck and safe journies | ||

My trips do not serve the purpose of science. I avoid planes whenever I can and rarely take long distance flights as I usually try to get around via land using hitch hiking with cars that are already on the road. Of course traveling is not beneficial for climate warming, but do you really think that everyone that loves traveling should stop doing it, just sit at home and watch TV? I think it would be much better to invest further into new green energy technologies (which I personally have a lot of my money invested btw) and find ways to make traveling less heavy on nature. Dont really know what you want to get out of this? Cheers, Chris | ||

If you drive a car, go to Restaurants, buy clothes or anything else that requires world wide shipping from for example China will have a much bigger effect. Sadly I do not know you or your lifestyle, but I am pretty sure you are not 100% green yourself unless you are a gather / hunter living in the woods off the grid. (which would mean you couldnt post on TL either^^) My trips do not serve the purpose of science.

Then bragging about how green you "are". GJ, totally worth following your "career" A little more and you could become the new DSP User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Traveling is something that you can never get completely out of our society, i did not brag about how Green I am and even agreed to what he said. Hopefully you will not follow my career because you are certainly someone who is better off far away from me. Take care and enjoy your internet life my friend. Cheers Chris | ||
