Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

This feels a bit like ticking the "offset my co2" box when booking a flight. I mean it's cool that they planted 70000 trees but that has nothing to do with the building itself really, although i guess the money for the trees does.
