Description
In all of the example notebooks you get the mapbox token from the environment like so
"token = os.getenv('MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN')"
If we used a hosted Jupyter notebook environment we certainly dont want to pass our Mapbox token around to users. How do make the token part of the install/Jupyter platform not part of the notebook runtime?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the example notebooks that read MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN and determine how hosted Jupyter environments are configured. Define the required install- or platform-level token handling before changing the examples. Done means users can run the hosted notebooks without receiving or passing the Mapbox token through notebook runtime code.
