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.

@AbandonedAmerica was just doing a thing on the SS United States. I really, really wish I could take a 3 day boat trip across the Atlantic rather than a flight.

@MichaelTBacon @bonkerfield @solarpunktravel I think I'd really enjoy that too. We have a tendency now to overstuff leisure in a way that makes it feel less like R&R than more work.
