That’s the equivalent of removing 200,000 cars from the road, Google claims. To provide the new feature, Google incorporated data from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which estimates that eco-friendly routing has the potential to prevent more than one million tons of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere per year. In addition to showing drivers the fastest way to get to their destination, Google Maps will now show the route that’s the most fuel-efficient. The company is releasing features on Google Maps and Google Flights to show how travel plans may contribute to climate change. So Google is helping users make more informed decisions about how they travel. Driving and flying are huge contributors to carbon emissions and climate change.
