Google displays information about the environmental impact of certain choices
Google will information about the environmental impact of certain choices — from buying a new car or pre-owned clothing to planning a driving route or weekday meal.
For instance, if one wants to buy a car, Google will show the annual fuel cost for cars in search results and emissions estimates, so you know how a particular model you have your eye on compares to similar ones. To help save money on gas and reduce emissions, drivers can use their eco-friendly routing feature, which helps people find the most fuel-efficient routes using insights from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and data from the European Environment Agency.
Later this year, on Search, Google will highlight which products are pre-owned, making it easier than ever for you to make sustainable choices when shopping and maybe even save some money!
This is a good first step. Displaying information is very much needed to ease sustainable choices!
I would also love Google to ban fossil fuel ads… wouldn’t it be a great climate idea?
