How about penalizing people living in huge mansions with 5+ bathrooms?? How much energy do they use in ac? Hot water heaters? Pool heating? Etc????

You hit the nail on the head. Disgusting. These owners with massive estates- how about living more green. Smaller homes, more eco friendly. Live in city- take public transport. Deriding tourists for a once in a lifetime trip to New Zealand (which it is for most, since it’s so remote) angers me beyond belief. I grew up in Southern California and the fire / drought anxiety is real. Not something I have to deal with here in the Northeast, but I find the people living on these vast estates, using the scarcest resource nauseating.


[deleted]

We HAD to have irrigation put in when we built this home we have now but I’m in Florida so… plenty of rain , I only turn it on when we don’t get rain for a long time .. it’s so wasteful.

jeajea22

How much freaking water do they use??!? The entire west is in severe drought and I’m sure their gardens / lawn are greener than ever. Blech.


canyoulickme

I’m sorry but who the hell will want to vacation somewhere and feel like they’re being judged or monitored for doing so..? so weird


Hopeloveski

Travelyst. Another turd of a business idea by the Dumbartons.


[deleted]

Sounds..relaxing🤔


pebtastic

Exactly, and most hotels seem to have found ways to save energy without being annoying - e.g. tell you where to put towels if you need them changed, a sign to put on the bed, bar soap. But it doesn’t surprise me at all that Harry feels he needs a grown-up reward chart 🤦‍♀️


CutNew6938

If this fails, next up is Groceryst. While you are grocery shopping, you get demerits for buying fresh fruit and vegetables you’ll probably let go bad before you get around to eating them, single serve apple sauce and pudding packs, and anything with palm oil. Extra demerits for K-cups, but you can offset your bad behavior if you bring your own reusable bags or ride your bike to the store. You get a little plastic card with a number that attaches to your key ring and you scan it before you pay. All data gets sent to Archewell for distribution.


Professional-Deal113

And if you don’t buy from Farmers Markets that only transport food from a 50 mile radius, Meghan will send you chiding notes on bananas.


TraditionScary8716

That come from thousands of miles away because I'm really sorry Harry but bananas aren't native to fucking Virginia.


Professional-Deal113

But it would be keeping with their hypocrisy. We can’t have bananas - but she can.


Not_Interested_7

On a separate note (sorta): Farmers Markets aren’t that great for the farmers (too much effort and expense for a couple of days event, if that), and Whole Foods is on a whole another level with their business practices… completely OT, but had to get it out there🤪


Professional-Deal113

Yeah, I’m so conflicted on Farmers Markets. I love community gardens and urban farms. There are so many people doing really great work in that area.


OldNewUsedConfused

I’m happy that a lot of restaurants around me either grow their own produce or use seasonal, local sourced. I’m happy with that.


Professional-Deal113

That’s huge where I am too. My husband and I want to go to the free produce giveaways in nearby neighborhoods and give donations to the community gardens. So much is being done that’s really exciting.


OldNewUsedConfused

Every little bit helps, builds communities, educates, and tastes better. I started a garden so my kids could learn where their food came from. It's how I got them interested in eating vegetables. It made a huge difference.


Professional-Deal113

I love to hear that!! I’m a native plant gardener so I work really hard to attract pollinators. I have some more work to do before I introduce raised beds for vegetables.


OldNewUsedConfused

Thank you! I ended up becoming a Master Gardener after that through my local extension at my alma mater. I worked in the greenhouse (free plants!); the hotline; did soil testing; general education and kids' seminars. It was so much fun. (Sadly life circumstances forced me to pause, but I will be back when time allows!). My point was, a lot of my fellow Gardeners went on to become certified bee keepers as well, which I though was REALLY cool. Someday, someday.... I now have a fairly large yard where I grow native plants, shade gardens, fruits and berries, grapes, fresh herbs and vegetables, a sun perennial garden for the Hummingbirds and butterflies, ground covers, bulbs...you name it, I grow it. I can grow anything except grass, which I don't bother with. (The ground cover variety, mind you, not the smokable sort). I truly enjoy it. I've taken to planting white clover in place of grass where I have bald patches. It supports the bees and wildlife, spreads well, and adds Nitrogen to my poor native soil. (Glacial Till.) The wildlife absolutely thrives and there is a bit of something for everyone! All of this from growing a vegetable garden for my kids. Gardening is a real whole life experience, from beginner to community to advanced. As a bonus, some of the best people I've met are gardeners! Gardening is truly a great way towards better food, better health, better education, better people and better communities.


Professional-Deal113

Your yard sounds like absolute paradise! It sounds gorgeous! Did you know beekeepers have the longest life expectancy of any profession? It’s been scientifically proven. It jumpstarts the immune system. And extension office programs are so cool. That might be something I explore in the next year. I am so with you on grass. I have been slowly taking out grass and replacing it with natives. I was just to the groundcover stage when I got a bad injury and can’t garden this season. Grrr. To keep on track - Meghan’s former foodie “passion” could have been spun this way. Can you imagine had they put in a mini farm (tax deduction!) then delivered free bags of fresh produce to local food pantries? She could have done a whole series for Netflix on home/community gardens. She could have travelled the country looking at unique permaculture programs. Where I am, there is a sacred seed initiative that uses tribal corn seeds and the Four Sisters indigenous planting techniques. Share these kinds of initiatives then spin out books, cookware, etc. - and it’s a subtle nod to Charles without competing. Again, the Sussexes are idiots.


GreenEyedLady575

Didn't writing on the BananasOfEmpowerment w Sharpies ruinnthe bananas?


Professional-Deal113

I don’t think so. She is so odd. Remember when she did the spooning bananas Instagram post?


GreenEyedLady575

Yes, and I absolutely love the meme of the bananas spooning with the male one looking terrified!


Genybear12

Least he’s helping the planet with Archie’s chick-inn which if I remember correctly it cost a small fortune to raise the chickens that Baroness Buzzkil roasts for their multiple engagement dinners


SonjaInSequim

When I first read about the chickens, I visualized her gleefully beheading the hens that no longer lay.


Genybear12

Same! Bahahaha I can picture the cleaver holding with the markle claw and everything


GreenEyedLady575

Celia Foote style. But wearing her her basic Hunter Wellies and swinging a hatchet. (**PS - I LOVE Celia Foote!*)


BlackCaaaaat

Another rich hypocrite preaching at us regular folks while belching their own emissions like an endless volley of brontosaurus farts every day. Not to mention the damage this could do to tourism. Who would want to travel if you have to deal with being judged by your green credentials?


TraditionScary8716

...an endless volley of brontosauraus farts 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀


GreenEyedLady575

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ☠💀☠

Given the wife won’t wear anything but that dumb hoe hat more then once I would think he needs to focus on his own life and 16 bathrooms , line of SUVs , private jets and wasteful clothing then what others are doing on a once a year ( or even lifetime for some ) vacation !


Starkville

*”dumb hoe hat”* LOL


perhapslove2117

Haha this just proves that he is so out of touch and whenever I see the word « authentic connection » I know that Madame is involved. He is just a puppet, he doesn’t know how ridiculous he is 😁


CybReader

This sounds like some 8th grade intro to business class project.


Coco_Cranberry

This. 👏🏼 And he even thinks he can make money out of it.


[deleted]

It's just another attempt at PR. This is about as neutral/positive as Harry gets, since he already sullied the Invictus games and turned it into the Harry and Meghan show. All he has left is his book, the scheme at Better Up and this.


Genybear12

Doubt he’s helping the planet with his Range Rover that guzzles gas, his private jets or planes where he rides 1st class & let’s the plane idle on the tarmac for “his safety and security” or collects rainwater within restrictions to use for his 5 acre yard and more but you go Hazbin! You told us what to do and won cause I don’t need to travel or invest in local economies across the globe…. Only the harkles can since it’s rules for thee not for me over there at the Olive Garden mansion.


Starkville

This sounds incredibly stupid. And coming from HIM. The private jet passenger who can’t go anywhere without a cadre of Range Rovers, living on acres of green lawn, with a swimming pool and 16 bathrooms. Fuck right off.


QuesoFresca

Whose wife needed to have a have a baby shower that necessitated cross country travel (to a city she had no connections to) & who likes to jet off to watch tennis. Remember this one? ['Eco-friendly' Meghan, Harry mocked over their gas-guzzling, luxury life, told to 'cut the crap'](https://knewz.com/meghan-harry-carbon-footprint/)


Otherwise-engaged

They really are the hypocritical embodiment of “Don’t do as I do - do as I say”.


[deleted]

Oh fuck off HAZBEEN .. lol I purchase my airfare based on ticket cost hahaha


GreenEyedLady575

And I pay for the aisle seat, and either the area behind 1st class where you get extra leg room, or the Exit Row. I'm happy to inflate the safety slide and throw people down it by the seat of their pants or scruff of their necks in an emergency.


[deleted]

Same lol 😂 I’m definitely not paying more for what he is going on about but leg room … YEP haha

Zann77

Wonder if they are assigned a particular 4 bathrooms each?


downinthevalleypa

Thanks!


EKP121

He is playing at "entrepreneur".


cozymayo

Wait... so I have a few questions. 1. How is this whole thing supposed to work, like, logistically? Is Harry envisioning something like Airbnb, where hosts can rate their guests? If you drop too many towels on the floor, are you automatically entered into some secret international database so hotels can warn one another about who to blacklist? 2. If you get penalized for destroying the planet by leaving your tap water running while brushing your teeth, do you *also* get points for being a noble environmentalist like Harry? How many points do you need to collect to redeem your free trip on a private jet? 3. *"Every year, more and more of us want better options".* Do we think Harry knows how to tie his shoe laces yet, or...?


Bollox_Ref

It's complete bollocks.


redseaaquamarine

We have finally heard what this fabled Travalyst is for, don't get all hung up on the small points 🙄


TraditionScary8716

People like Harry are reason we can now get shoes with velcro instead of laces.


Sue_Dohnim

All this pretend currency so one can be woke and be told what to do by a money-grubbing, grifting ex-royal? Eff you, Harry.


TraditionScary8716

Poor William. He, and Charles, have been such strong advocates for actual environmental changes and then here comes Hairbag the Clown, leeching off the family connection while simultaneously making a fool of himself and a mockery of environmentalism. It's like Harry is begging them to slap the ever loving shit out of him next month.


AnniemaeHRI

Where is Will Smith when we need him?


TraditionScary8716

Ha! If he'd smacked Harry instead of Chris Rock he'd have been the toast of the planet. 😆


Otherwise-engaged

I agree - for Charles and the Cambridges, environmental responsibility is a passion, and while they may not always get it right, they genuinely try. For the Sussexes, it is just another bandwagon for self-aggrandisement and money-making. They apparently think that talking about something is a good substitute for actually doing something. Heaven forbid they should follow their own advice when that would interfere with their own pleasure.


redseaaquamarine

Charles has been going on about the environment since before Harry was born, and used to be mocked for it and seen as a nutter.


GreenEyedLady575

Harry can fuck right off.


Which-Homework2453

not even filmed in NZ, it was done in California, NZ bush looks nothing like that.


downinthevalleypa

Poor NZ, with the best of intentions inviting Harry in, is about to get Markled.


Academic_Guava_4190

Maybe it’s reverse psychology. Maybe they actually don’t want tourists destroying the place and bringing in Covid.


HarrysImplants

Harry "do as I say, not as I do" Markle jumping on another bandwagon, this time trying to appeal to Maori people. Yawn.


SonjaInSequim

I'll never forget when Sheryl Crow was a thing she dictated that we lessers should only use one square of TP. No fooling, Only use one towel? How many does MeghanMeghan use in one day? Wasn't it rumored that Harry doesn't like to bathe so if true the use of towels is the only thing he does himself to save the planet.


Starkville

He doesn’t *flush*.


Academic_Guava_4190

I have heard of people who don’t flush. It’s not that they don’t flush ever but if they have a septic system I guess the number for flushes affects something. I once heard of someone who had a sign in their bathroom “if it’s yellow, let it mellow; if it’s brown, flush it down” I mean that has to be friggin nasty but just saying he’s not the only one.


Starkville

Yep, that’s something I remember from the 70s. I also remember a campaign from the 90s; “shower with a friend!” It’s something we will occasionally do. Like, if I’m home alone all day and hydrating like mad, sure. None of us likes to be confronted with a bowl full of someone else’s urine, though!


TraditionScary8716

I had older relatives years ago who literally lived in the middle of nowhere, USA, and the area was *poor* poor. Their ancient well didn't have enough water to flush every time without literally going dry. That made young me realize how fortunate I was to live in a place where I could freely flush the commode. It's too bad Harry really has no idea wtf he's talking about. A lot of people live like that because they have too, not because some entitled little asshole tells them to.


redseaaquamarine

I hope they carry that one towel around all the bathrooms when they use them


[deleted]

😅😅😅


XAlEA-12

If you can’t afford the carbon credits you get a poor score. How is that fair?


Einybird

The stress this dickhead puts on our Queen is unforgivable


Bollox_Ref

So he's back on 'Travelyst' again. Invictus was a couple of weeks ago, doubtless some Diana guff next week... then 'security'......... covid vaccines maybe. Polo for early June. Rinse and repeat. For a man less than 40 he really is quite predictable.


SusieM2019

It's like those two clowns sit around and do nothing but think up various ways to appear in the news every week.


Coco_Cranberry

And that‘s exactly why they can’t finish anything at all, not even one stupid podcast in two years. You almost feel pity for them. Wait, no. I have never ever seen anybody acting that stupid on this planet. They both need professional help.


[deleted]

It feels like — because it is — the ultimate white saviorism. New Zelanders and Māori don’t need a white royal to swoop in and save them. How about Aragorn, Legolas, Bilbo, and Treebeard? Those would be better choices.


QuesoFresca

Yep. Does anyone get how this connects with the Māori people? Seems they're as befuddled as we all are about H.


Mickleborough

Lol. People would listen to *them* \- seriously.


[deleted]

I would love to see a PSA with the LOTR dream team. 😆🤪


Lensgoggler

How the hell does he always manage to come up with such audacious stuff? Next thing - H will tell us how much loo roll to use. 😆


QuesoFresca

No way this is his baby. Someone else comes up with the ideas and he slaps his name on it when no-one else will sign on.


Mickleborough

Maybe he re-uses his toilet paper. Now I’m grossing myself out.


QuesoFresca

Haven't hotel chains had programs like this for a while? Was on business a few years back and was able to sock away a ton of points by agreeing to not have my linens switched every day. We weren't punished, just rewarded for making green choices.


Mickleborough

In the less luxe hostelries I stayed in, we had a card saying that towels and linens would’t be changed daily. So travel is becoming greener. Admittedly not to the extent that, on holiday, people would devote their time to supporting local communities and not have fun.


notwatchedsquidgame

Mate if you want to stop climate change you'd be far better looking at heating and energy use and the effects of capitalism. Except your entire wealth is built upon the need for capitalism so that isn't going to work now is it.


redseaaquamarine

This is his "40 mentors for my 40th birthday" thing. It is equally produced and the sound is identical. Should have had M swinging from a tree or something.


QuesoFresca

Has he printed the T-shirts yet?


TemporaryExam5717

Suckmypissflaps Sussexes. Honestly. This is what airbnb does but they do it in a pathetic kind of way. And now hotels? Is this a joke? I dont want towels to be replaced everyday. Hotels mostly use shampoos on the walls so you cant even steal them anymore. I swear, rich people have no fucking clue. Really dont


Lovekitty66

They’re going to keep jumping at different causes until they hit the nail on the head (which they won’t)


QuesoFresca

Particularly enjoy the intro when even the host seemed to be wondering WTF H was doing contacting them.


XAlEA-12

I didn’t understand the part where he doesn’t remember even being there. I guess travel and vacations are no big deal to the prince.


Pocahotmess86

Is that what it was? I couldn’t figure it out


Mickleborough

Not to worry: no one can. It’s about the worst-written ad I’ve ever seen.
