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.

I have seen usage of mist spray in France a bit. Like f.e. inside the Marseille St Charles train station or in Strasbourg on the space in front of the train station. I think it's real nice.

I am also real thankful that the EU made a directive to get its members to offer drinking water in public spaces. That used to be so bad here in Germany, there was hardly any publicly accessible drinking water, but they are actually on their way now to slowly add drinking water fountains in the cities.
