Abstract
These days, people are always connected via internet and they use map services like Google Maps all the time. In this study, we demonstrate how to take advantage of such connectivity and technologies for raising the awareness of sustainability. To this end, we develop a mobile app (The Carbon Conscious Traveller or TCCT) that helps people travel in a more carbon-conscious manner. In this demo, we showcase TCCT, which seamlessly combines navigation using Google Maps API, visualisation, and carbon footprint calculation and tracking for an extensive range of transport modes including cars, trains, airplanes and even ferries. This tool encourages people to choose environmentally friendly travel practices by giving them a concrete and accessible indicator to comprehend the impact of their activities on the environment.
