I'm initiating a competition for greener travel routes. The idea is to speed up the green shift. Routing should be reasonably fast and convenient. Everybody can join. Go to your favorite trip planner, pick the most sustainable route for the trip of the day. You can refine it.

Found a Reddit-review in TravelHacks, a popular group I'm unable to participate in (after mentioning there that I develop a flight search engine). __sanguine__ writes: "PanFlights! Lets you include nearby airports in search, including a specific distance from
