We could use cartopy and measure green from the data provided there... but that then it doesn't includes the querying the website bit, unless we find a cities/location api.
This was fixed in the PR linked above but the issue was never closed.
The "greenmap" example from the first lesson does not run. It used to use Google Maps, but they disabled access without a key. We switched to Yandex for last year, but now that's done the same. From memory, all the options either needed a key (which we didn't want to make public, and sometimes also required a card to charge to) or had to be self-hosted.
If we can't find a geocoding/map API that does not require a key, we'll have to use a different example. The main points that the current example is showcasing (without explaining) are
A replacement doesn't need to be similar but should probably hit the same spots.
