Cette semaine, reprise des activités de l'association. Réunion mercredi 17 septembre, à 20h à la mairie d'Eteau.

The Jones Falls Trail Green Map will make its debut at the Jones Falls Watershed Association's Rally for the River! festival on September 21st, 2008. Our map uses 30 Green Map icons to highlight "Discover & Enjoy!" mappable resources on one side and lists the "Learn and Take Action!" resources on its reverse. It includes a green-mapped inset of Druid Hill Park, our 756-acre central park.

The festival typically attracts 5000 people. It closes part of the interstate highway to allow a few hours of intense pedestrian and wheeled activity, food, music, and boat journeys and frog races down the stream below the highway.read more »

For me it's very gratifying to share with the Green Map network our activities that we have done in the traditional coffee growing region of Colombia during this year.

First of all, the process with one of the high school (Gonzalo Mejia Echeverry) has become stronger. In this moment, Fundación Geovida (our local non-profit organization) have been designing an eco-landscaping feature inside the school, a beautiful ecological path made of bamboo. We will be highlighting local myths and legends along this thematic path. An architecture student is volunteering with us in its development. This idea has been welcomed by the local history teacher, and the art and biology teachers that have decided to coordinate all their projects around one: Green Map Project. read more »

After three years in the wilderness, a movement to map out green spaces in Jakarta is back in vogue, riding the global trend toward an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

"The campaigning stage is over, people are aware of the 'green' lifestyle now. Let's focus on green maps' effectiveness, power to change, availability and design," Marco Kusumawijaya, a founder of the "green map" movement said Saturday.read more »
