Green Travel Choice app for iPhone and iPad

With just two clicks on a GPS based map you get your CO2 emissions for bus, train, motor bike, various car types and plane trips. Now it’s up to you to make a green travel choice! Then use the travel Logbook to keep track of your trips and CO2 emissions over time.

This app provides transparency to choose modes of transport wisely, plan your next journeys, a Logbook to record and track emissions and routes and with our partners you help to support sustainable development projects.

No matter if it’s the next trip overseas or just the ride down-town: with two clicks on the map Green Travel Choice lists the CO2 emissions for nine typical modes of transport. You can then conveniently save the trip to your travel Logbook that sums up your travel distance and CO2 emissions over time. You can use this information to optimize your travel pattern, offset your CO2 emissions or report the number to your workplace sustainability manager.

Have you ever wondered how much carbon dioxide you emit flying from New York to London or driving from Los Angeles to Seattle? Or have you ever wondered when sitting in a bus or train, how much carbon dioxide your current trip takes? Remember that for example if you take the SUV from New York City to Washington D.C., the CO2 emissions are about 110 kg (240 lbs). If you would take the train they are only 21 kg (46 lbs). The average weekly CO2 emissions per person for travel in industrialised nations is around 50-66 kg (110-145 lbs).

Green Travel Choice is the perfect tool for making climate-friendly travel choices on the go.
