Google today introduces in Europe a new tool that wants to be of help to all those who are looking for information and suggestions on the web how to save electricity and gas. The crisis we are experiencing in these days is extremely serious and is the result of speculative actions and geopolitical tensions in the Old Continent, once again battered by a conflict that does not only concern Russia and Ukraine.

Winter is upon us, bills this year risk being particularly high and rising costs are now the hottest topic in people’s speeches in Europe. Consider that in Belgium searches such as “how to save gas” have grown on Google by 5,000% in a year, and queries such as “heating costs” are now raging among the pages of Big G. In short, in Europe we turn to the algorithms of Google to try to figure out how to save a few euros on heating in view of the cold season.

This is a particularly useful tool that will help the population find ideas for optimizing consumption. The feature is available in 29 countries – including Italy – in 22 different languages. Still on the environmental theme, we remind you that the American company recently released a Maps mode with which the least polluting – and most economically convenient – itinerary is suggested, depending on the type of car you are driving. Small tools that certainly will not help to solve the environmental issue but which nevertheless contribute to making the population more aware and informed about the seriousness of the situation. And, why not, to help her save a few euros.
