The ecological impact is a very important question actually that doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. Is there any way to travel currently while minimi

  My take on this is: less "big" trips relying on the car+plane teleportation combo, and more smaller bicycle / hiking / camping rides. Feasibility and attractiveness of this options will depend on your surroundings, sure.

  Why should it get attention? Sewage treatment is important, fire dept is important, everything is important. That's why we have people with jobs, taking care of these things. You do your part, I do mine. The idea of a person who likes to travel, having to care about pollution is insane. It is a lot like a cult that is so paranoid with not hurting anyone, that they watch every step they take - god forbid you step on an ant! That's an extreme example of what you're proposing. The only way to make things work (imho) is if most people do a good job and we actively discourage mediocrity. That way when I travel, I don't have to worry about the pilot screwing up, that's most important when I'm on an airplane but I don't want to care - most things I rely upon just work and when they don't - it's because people whose job it is to make it work suck, not because select individuals didn't individually make enough good decisions everywhere they went.
