| Open Green Map |
For people ready to participate in creating a healthy, sustainable and just world, Green Map System offers a direct pathway to the significant ecological, cultural and civic resources near home through our locally published and interactive maps, our globally recognized icons and mapmaking tools, and communications network linking Mapmakers in more than 50 countries.
Green Map System has promoted inclusive participation in sustainable community development around the world since 1995, using mapmaking as our medium. Over 480 locally-led map projects have successfully published more than 350 Green Maps, used by millions to connect with green living, nature, social and cultural resources near home and while traveling. Each unique map utilizes Green Map® Icons to highlight both positive and challenging sites. Learn more about Green Map System and about our iconography, the heart of the Green Map movement!
Now, we're taking our inclusiveness mission to the next level by developing the Open Green Map, an interactive mapmaking tool that helps people worldwide quickly share their own selection of sustainability sites, pathways and resources online. Merging local knowledge and our freshly updated iconography with Google Map technology, the resulting interactive maps will soon be viewable from our own and many other websites. Even before its Fall 2008 public launch, this OGM website invites the public to add their own comments, green ratings, images and videos and share how each site on the map has impacted their life. With this social mapping website, people of all ages and backgrounds can get involved! Adequate support for this developing tool is essential to its success. By working with Green Map System, you will be working with the hundreds of communities grappling with how to harness social entrepreneurship with the open nature of Open Green Map to create a financially viable, sustainable and expanding local network of environmental advocates and stewards.
