Dunipace Green Dog Walkers & Litter Hot Spot Map

Dunipace Green Dog Walkers & Litter Hot Spot Map

Created by:

Dunipace Green

Map Details

About the Map:

Our map project is currently in the data-collection stage - we are taking photos of target litter zones, actually counting dog poo (!) and monitoring dog bin usage, signing citizens up to pledge to clean up after their dogs, holding litter clean ups. Our map will chart parks, woodlands, green spaces and neighbourhoods of Dunipace. The basic mapping team consists of Michelle McCallum and Christine Bell. Data collection is through volunteers of Community Green Initiative, and a group of Brownies under the guidance of their Brown Owl Tracy McNeil. Through the hands-on process of fact-gathering and being out and about, talking to our citizens about cleaning up the mess, more and more are becoming aware that we can actually fix this problem and change attitudes. We are especially involving our children, as they are our greatest resource and hope for a better cleaner future for this wee burgh. We will publicize the map through the CGI newsletter NEW LEAF NEWS, its website, blogs, etc. The map at the website will include before and after pictures of areas CGI cleans up. Over the next year we will chart the success of CGI's Green Dog Walkers project (dog walkers wear a logo armband as a sign that they clean up & carry extra doggie bags to lend those who forgot to bring one. Backed by the council's big advertising campaign, this social experiment is working and attracting global interest!), using the map to show if there has been a decrease in dog poo in specific areas where a high volume of dog-walking takes place. LEAVE ONLY PAWPRINTS is our battle cry!

Tagline/Slogan:

We are working hand-in-hand with Community Green Initiative, seeking to identify areas in Dunipace where the most intense volume of dog fouling, fly tipping and litter appear. In our goal to clean up our town, this map will help us schedule clean-ups and chart the progress of our anti-dog-fouling and litter campaigns.

Dali China Green Map

Map Details

About the Map:

G.Map@Dali was Dali Global Village Eco-Tourism(DGVET) first GREENMAP project to try to promote GREEN awareness thru the icons to the locals. Being overwhelmed by massive GREEN slogans and advetisments locally. We have to link the message onto the world here. Dali was the first stop on the main chinese tourists route in westrn Yunnan. Nested at the foot of Mt Cang beside Lake Er at 2000m, the Ancient City of Dali had been around for more then 2000 years. Being the main city on the Southern Silk Road (aka Burma Trail), the city was now still filled by travellers from all over the world in the booming travel industry. With the immense growth in domestic & foreign tourists, along brought much to be dealt with in, the limited capacity to process the remains left by the millions. to what extend? we'll be extending & beyond...

Tagline/Slogan:

Our first shot creating awareness by introducing the G.icons to the tourists & locals. From Dali & beyond...

The Australian Toilet Map

Sydney Greenmapper for Disability and Social Access — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:17:59 -0400

The Australian Toilet Map

Created by:

Sydney Greenmapper for Disability and Social Access

Map Details

About the Map:

Whilst this map is not strictly a GreenMap, It does address a concern of greenmapping which is access to sites by the elderly, those with disabilities and those with families. The National Public Toilet Map (the Map) shows the location of more than 14,000 public and private public toilet facilities across Australia. Details of toilet facilities can also be found along major travel routes and for shorter journeys as well. Useful information is provided about each toilet, such as location, opening hours, availability of baby change rooms, accessibility for people with disabilities and the details of other nearby toilets. The Map is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing as part of the National Continence Management Strategy. What does the Map do? The Map provides toilet information for the estimated 3.8 million Australians who are affected by incontinence: * information on the nearest public toilet * the capacity to plan short and longer journeys * improves independence and quality of life * is convenient for people with young families The Map is a useful tool for anyone undertaking a trip or holiday by providing information on suitable toilet breaks before the journey begins. The Map: * details opening hours * assists in finding toilets in a town/suburb * identifies toilets that can be accessed by people with a disability * assists planning a trip or holiday with suitable toilet and rest breaks known before the journey begins * assists planning a trip around town or between towns and cities
