Green Maps: Your Guide to Green Spaces
Whether you’re traveling, relocating, or just curious about your own community, Green Maps can give you a snapshot of a city’s green spaces and standards. The maps, which are created by people who live and/or work within the community, “chart green living, ecological, social and cultural resources,” including parks, habitats, energy conservation, healthy dining places, farmers’ markets, sustainable local businesses, ecological organizations, and much more. They also point out undesirable elements, such as toxic waste dumps and prisons. Find out how the city you’re living in or visiting stacks up, and support those green spaces that do exist. Green Maps are also a valuable tool in community planning, and as a classroom learning guide. With their award-winning universal icons and multi-lingual resources, you can map your way to a sustainable future, no matter where you’re at, or where you’re going.
