Whether helping people create a comprehensive view of a region or a close-up of a city neighborhood, the Green Map System is ultimately about the recognition and the revitalization of sustainable living. With every new region, the lexicon grows. A green map is especially useful to seniors who want to visit the city without the traffic and turmoil - and who care about leaving a healthier planet for our grandchildren. If you are looking for what to walk away from, it also highlights landfills and other toxic areas. One bad apple may spoil the lot, but one green apple can start a trend.
Green maps stimulate discussion.
They locate action and help empower those areas left out of the picture. Green maps signal how things could be different. I hope that our work will be useful to others down the road and will help in the preservation of the things we thought were important, such as the hawks, and the tree forts, and the cloud watching place and all the significant places we paid special attention to.
