  • you have a large family

    Order of magnitude bigger eco-crime than driving a camper I would say (unless you aren't in a wealthy country)

  • Given that the people in the hypothetical holiday family already exist, I dont see the worth in shaming parents for their children, and effectively shaming people for existing. It's not productive, and bit of a nasty road to go down. Populations naturally stabilise in richer countries.

    It's better for as many people as possible to fill up a vehicle to capacity, carry only what they need, than for groups of twos and threes to take a huge heavy thing fitted out like a small house.

  • It's not productive

    Somehow we have to discourage people in wealthy countries from deciding to have that third child. Economic disincentives don't work and are regressive, so how else do you propose to achieve it without cultural norms?
