Google Maps helping travelers to reduce carbon footprint
Google Maps will allow travelers to pick a road or air route based on its carbon footprint. In addition to showing drivers the fastest way, Google Maps will now show the route that’s the most fuel-efficient.
Google has tapped data from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
The most eco-friendly driving route will display with a small green leaf and will offer information about the route duration and about how much fuel is required.
