a world atlas charting health food stores, recycling centers, farmers’
markets, museums, wilderness, holistic medical clinics, schools,
parks, wheelchair accessible sites, etc. This global guide to green
and enlightened living is just a mouse click away thanks to the
non-profit global Green Map System www.greenmap.org.
The
power of a good map is that it can alter our perception of the world,
and in just ten years, an international band of mapmakers collaborating
on the Green Map System have charted nearly 300 of the world’s

Fun, informative and user-friendly resources for children, students,
locals and especially tourists, Green Maps support the human family’s
efforts to live sustainably and enjoy nature while helping spread
the word about eco-mapping to new locations. (...)
