About the Map:

Willamette University is located in Salem, Oregon. It was recently named the most sustainable university in the United States by the National Wildlife Federation. The motto of Willamette's College of Liberal Arts is, "Not unto ourselves are we born," and reflects the committment of the faculty, administration and students to creating a better earth for everyone. This map will, hopefully, increase students' awareness of the environmentally friendly options open to them everyday around campus. It may also encourage other universities to immitate the choices that Willamette University has made. Enjoy!

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.

GeoGreen Mapper – An Interactive Community Green Map for Alachua County, Florida Description The GIS Division at the Department of Growth Management under the Board of Commissioners of Alachua County has developed GeoGreen, an Interactive Green Map for Alachua County. Green Maps are local maps which chart natural, cultural, and civic community resources in green living. With GeoGreen, Alachua County joins the global movement of over five hundred cities, towns and villages who engage in various ways of Green Mapping. The GeoGreen Mapper provides access to over forty map layers of green infrastructure and green living and to important related countywide studies. Users can interactively create their own maps on the web picking and choosing what layers to use. Pictures, web sites, and descriptive information are all integrated with each map layer. Some of the map layers are regulatory, such as preservation lands, some map layers are user-generated, and others are updated in real time during county’s daily operations. Map layers are grouped into three categories:  green pathways (trails, bicycle paths and facilities, low speed roads, etc.)  conservation/recreation (preservation lands, strategic ecosystems, priority ecological areas, etc.)  cultural/green living (farmer markets, community gardens, recycle centers, thrift stores, historic structures, etc.) GeoGreen is also a database driven participatory web mapper. It provides for public input in registering and mapping of Green Buildings, connecting live to the Alachua County's buildings database. Anyone from the public can enter a permit number and upload an image of their Green Building Certificate. After the upload, they can immediately view Green Building location plotted live on GeoGreen. Upon validation of the certificate by county staff, the location of this Certified Green Building remains part of the Green Buildings map layer. This allows for collecting disparate data on Green Buildings, which does not exist as such anywhere. For the first time in the history of Alachua County, GeoGreen also displays locations of Solar Panel permits issued over the years. The Solar Panel map layer updates in real time as county staff issues Solar Permits as part of their building permitting operations.  GeoGreen is located at: http://maps.alachuacounty.us/geogreen  The Green Buildings Interface is located at: http://cpd.alachuacounty.us/cdweb/permitting/green/  A Green Map brochure is located at: http://maps.alachuacounty.us/geogreen/greenmapalachuacounty.pdf
