Gouda, The Netherlands' colorful and interactive Green Map was one of the very first on the web! Although it is no longer online, visitors could explore the green sites while reading informative details about this very eco-conscious town, in Dutch and English. Gouda's Mapmaking team includes Friends of the Earth members. Read the Gouda Green Map Story to find out how Frits v/d Laan and Michelle Thomasson created it in a few weeks during Autumn 1996. A paper version of the Gouda Green Map was published within Gouda's Green Guide in Spring 1999. It may still be available at libraries, organic and second hand shops, and a second printing is being planned.
