If you care about the world our kids will inherit join us. The idea is that local groups, council departments and businesses contribute a short account of their eco-cultural activities so the website is informative, accurate and inspiring.
The Green Map system (See http://www.greenmap.org/greenhouse/en/about/our_history) was first developed in New York City in the early 1990s and uses internationally recognised icons. The system is helping communities around the world record not only their green spaces, their flora and fauna and Indigenous dreaming stories, but also the various walking trails, bike paths, water courses, Farmers' Markets etc, environmental and arts groups and their projects, Landcare Groups, the 'Friends of...' environmental and cultural assets.
The system also documents the community's cultural groups and the businesses who contribute to the long term balance of 'people, planet, profit'. Being involved in developing a Green Map makes people aware of what is being done, what needs to be done and what individuals or community groups CAN do to ensure a sustainable future. It is indeed an eco-cultural tool for sustainable development.
