What's Green In Your Area?

I was cruising around my Statcounter last night and came across a Houston Green website that has ever so kindly placed a link to one of my outside blogs on it. This website had Loads of information, so much information that I didn't read it all last night, I went back today.

While there today I found a Super Neat tool for cities worldwide. It is called Green Map. On Green Map you can pull up any city that has sponsored one of these and find anything Green in the area.

I found everything from Organic Fruit Markets to Recycled Bicycles to Historic Monuments. It was quite fascinating. The maps are so detailed that you can take it down to street level and find exact directions and links to websites.

So, if you think that there is not a whole lot of Green in your area or you would like to sponsor a Green Map for your area--go check out Green Map.

The one for Houston is not complete yet, but the one for San Antonio was GREAT! Oh, don't forget that this is Worldwide. If you are going to be overseas and want some good Green information on the area...this is the place to go.

Thank you, Stephanie, for your efforts and concern for our planet. You're good people.

Thanks Robert. :) It's a neat site...you should check it out.

Everything is green here, it rained today. Mt garden is getting ready for the fall blooming season. I have learned unit the night time tempeture gets below 80 degrees many things will not bloom. That is why we have a fall season. Hope it begins soon. People here do not talk a lot about green things but the area is in tune with nature.

Hi Eric, That's good to know. Brad Pitt is putting up money for a green subdivision over there somewhere...Hope your flowers bloom soon!

Green is definitely getting a boost here, especially when it comes to home heating, which is a pretty big issue in a state that faces 4+ month winters.

(how appropriate, my security word is catcus.. LOL)

Great Stephanie. You are always a great source for grean information.

What a terrificly GREEN RESOURCE for all of us!! Thanks for sharing Stephanie!

Stephanie,

I checked but we don't have one in NC yet. We have a lot of green but it is mostly trees and plants - the eco-movement has not taken hold in my area yet. When it does your blog will give me knowledge to embrace it.

:( No green for Indy! I have found a few sites and builders who are using green resources, it is just not huge here.

Stephanie, surprisingly neither of the two maps near me have been published yet. Sniff

Hi Stephanie! Great link. Thanks. :)

Thanks Stephanie, this sounds really interesting, I'll have to check it out!

Sniff, Sniff. I'm with Gary. Nothing near Grand Rapids, Michigan, either. How awesome Stephanie that they have linked to you!

Thanks for giving people a heads up about our local-global movement, Stephanie. Green Map System now has over 400 projects in 50 countries and we hope some of the people involved with this active rain network will get behind efforts to complete Green Maps in their communities - over 325 published to date!

Thanks for visitng GreenMap.org and click Participate to see what leadership entails!

Best wishes from Green Map's founder and director!

interesting site - thanks!

Hi Daniel, LOL. It sounds like you could use some energy efficient homes up there for sure!

Thanks Mana!!

Hi Rita, I'm sure that green is on it's way! Thanks!!

Paula, :( I'm sorry. You could always make one. :)

Hi Gary, I think you should email whoever is making it. :)

Hi Pamela, Thanks and you're welcome!!

Hi Ana, check it out and let me know if your area has one. :)

Hey Mary, I was shocked!!! They have it as "Houston's First Green Realtor?" I loved the question mark. I thought it was cute. :) I guess they don't know if I'm the first? I have no idea.

Hi Wendy, Thanks so much for stopping by! I found the site fascinating and a fantastic idea. I can't wait for GCG to finish it. I'm sure there are some Greenies on here that may just hop in and make one.

I'll check out the participate part of it. I must have missed that link.

Best wishes to you as well with your site. It's a fantastic idea!

Thanks Barbara JO!!
