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.

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

Haven't been there yet! I accidentally hear a lot about the Green Line extension, because we also have a Green Line extension under construction in the Twin Cities.

Would you be able to tell us which ones are for which place?

[–] ianrbuck@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, I'll edit the post to include that!
