ECO2Travel promotes more environmentally friendly travel options with an emphasis on sustainability for a cleaner tomorrow – rewarding those who choose to travel green by offering rewards to users who choose to travel green. This application allows for users to search for flights like a traditional platform, but places an emphasis on "eco-grades." These "eco-grades" are calculated through CO2 emissions per passenger and are relative to the mode of transport that produces the least emissions per passenger. Each result is given an "eco-grade." In addition to flight results, this platform also gives users results for eco-friendly alternatives which consist of other forms of travel, such as trains and buses. Points are awarded for choosing the most eco-friendly flight OR one of the eco-friendly alternatives and these points add up to a membership status which would grant the user additional benefits like percent off of flights. This is aimed to create incentive for users to utilize more green transport methods.
We built ECO2Travel utilizing Amadeus Flight API, Ameadeus Autocomplete API, Google Maps API, Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
