Google - Advice to Reduce Carbon Footprint

April 18, 2007
Google Directions

In keeping with the focus on cutting one’s carbon emissions, and lowering one’s carbon footprint, our well loved search engine is going to far.

When searching for the best way to travel from New York to London, go to Google’s maps (click the image above) and read their directions, especially number 23. Although driving is recommended while on terra firma, they recommend swimming across the Atlantic! Presumably this will make up for all those nasty emissions we put out during the rest of the year.

The final kick in the teeth? After swimming for 3,462 miles, you’re fatigued, delerious, dehydrated and hungry, and what do you hear…

“Bonjour!”
Ahh, if Google ruled the world.
