At this week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Nokia is showcasing “Green Explorer”, a multi-channel service where people dedicated to a sustainable lifestyle can explore and enjoy the world. Through Green Explorer people can share information, give guidance and communicate about eco-friendly traveling. By signing up to the site you can share eco tips and photos, ask questions, add comments and rank destinations for a more enhanced and meaningful travel experience. In addition, map features include images to visualize destinations and Green Explorer points of interest. And you can take it all with you on your mobile device. 

The service has environmental information and eco tips from WWF covering 30 different countries plus eco travel information from Lonely Planet for almost 3000 locations worldwide. You can also select the most sustainable way to get to your destination based on mode of transport, cost, time to destinantion, and CO2 emissions. You can also look up eco city guides and subscribe to eco news from many cities around the world. 

“We have added lots of interesting new information and travel tools to the Green Explorer service, and it is great to see people using it to share tips and hints with others. Because Green Explorer is a mobile service people can take it with them on their travels and use it to make their trip fun and environmentally friendly.” says Minna Lindholm, Senior Environmental Manager. Green Explorer can be found at www.greenexplorer.nokia.com and is optimized for your mobile device.
