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.

That's a hugely relevant point, especially in the US. It's so much longer, and not cheaper either, to travel by rail for farther trips and planes keep winning out on the convenience factor because we don't get enough vacation time for a 3 day amtrak ride.
