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.

Ebikes + renewable energy is more efficient even than a human riding a traditional bike! The energy has to come from somewhere.

How exactly is it more efficient than regular bike, are we actually counting human breathing out CO2 as emissions now? And even if that ain't no way it breaks even with the production and distribution of the batteries not to mention what it takes to produce and upkeep the electricity farms. This seems a bit too much like propaganda to me, e bikes are great but we don't need to sell everything as the savior for it to be a better alternative for cars.
