About this Map

Now Published! OUR THIRD EDITION! FALL 2008
NYC would be a whole lot greener if we all composted our food and yard waste. This Green Map provides great ideas about how and where to compost in Manhattan - and a connection to the pioneers who will help you turn waste into a rich resources with minimum fuss and mess.

This map was created by Green Map System and Lower East Side Ecology Center. It includes a chart of what can be composted in the average NYC pile, where to learn about composting and vermiculture and spots where you can leave your food and garden scraps. Online, there are case studies of businesses that compost, and more.

We choose this theme because of the many benefits of composting - it's the most energy efficient form of recycling too, and NYC could really use the rich soil created by composting. We feel the map will help composting become more popular. We started by charting Manhattan's resources, but within a few months, have had several requests to co-create an online Composting Green Map charting all of NYC. Now, you can explore the first sites in the participatory Open Green Map platform. Please click <a href="http://www.opengreenmap.org/en/greenmap/compost-green-map-manhattan">here</a>, explore and enhance this map!

Community Outcomes

Botanical gardens and composting advocates citywide want to be on the map! So we are are starting to develop an online version that will chart this fast-growing greening movement.

And, it turns out 5,000 copies are way too few! We hope to have the support to update and print more soon.

I admire the valuable information you offer in your maps. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here!

planned the scam and who

planned the scam and who were involved. There will not be any closure until testking 642-845 these people are punished and punished severely. This must be done quickly else the anger will mount. As it is we see one law for the rich and testking 642-982 powerful and another law for the ordinary people. I hope you can emphasize to MACC not to drag its feet. Otherwise the stigma of cows and cars will bear home. The government have a lot of thing to do correctly to gain back credibility and trust. I hope you will not let testking EX0-101
this be one of the thing that got lost along the way. It should not be an item in the next election. The faster this get disposed the testking 640-816 better it will be. a small congratulation
