A new online map sets to assist people in finding eco-friendly individuals, businesses, events and organizations around the world. One can find anything from magazines, to cleaning services to produce companies that identify themselves as green.
The project is sponsored by the Sundance Channel and is supposed to supplement the cable network's weekly environmental program The Green. A dedicated minisite was created to extend THE GREEN online with videos, blogs, news, webisodes and eco tips (www.sundancechannel.com/thegreen). The digital extension of THE GREEN also includes the Eco-mmunity Map, an innovative tool developed by customizing Google Maps for Enterprise (www.sundancechannel.com/map). It is still to be seen how reputable the site will be as currently anyone can list themselves or others on the map. However, hopefully the eco-friendly community will be easier to find through this site. It may be of great use to travelers wanting to remain green while travelling. |
