Travelling can produce a lot of carbon emissions, whether you're travelling by car, plane, train, bus, or airplane. Reducing our carbon footprint, even if by a little, is the first step to preserving our environment, and that is exactly what Carboniferous aims to do. Carboniferous is a React app that calculates the most carbon efficient ways to travel from city to city using a mixture of different ways to travel and gives you the top choices based on your preference for price, travel time and modes of transportation. The project was created as a part of the 2020 HackAZ hackathon.
