This green map was initiated to help both locals and visitors to Bar Harbor, Maine to use in identifying local accommodations, restaurants, tour operators, stores, and other types of businesses as well as governmental organizations and non-profits which support or don't support sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
In doing this we hope to encourages local organizations to adopt more sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the local community and by doing to make Bar Harbor a model for other communities and a destination spot for green travel.
Bar Harbor, Maine is located on mount Desert Islannd which is home to Acadia National Park. Over two million visitors (maybe over three) visit the park and Bar Harbor each year making it the second most touristed spot in all of Maine after Portland.
Our methodology is still being developed.
