More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
To address poor learning conditions, apathetic students, unaware families and communities, the online Green Schools Green Map will impact many of NYC’s 2,000,000 kids. Designed to reach and teach students, teachers and administrators as well as families, decision makers and press, schools will save CO2, energy, water, waste, wildlife and money! Once all related activities, guidelines and web-map are perfected locally, the map can expand, resulting in a more hopeful future for all our children.
Activities
To link education and sustainability, we’ll develop web resources and youth activities so each NYC school can post a Report Card on a Google Map + annual reporting and school Green Maps by kids, PR, events, expansions, eco-curriculums, etc.

Latest Update from the Field
Report on Green Schools Green Map for NYC & The World
By Wendy Brawer - Founding Director & Secretary, August 06, 2008 05:51 PM
The Green Schools Green Map will be based within the forthcoming Open Green Map (OGM), our interactive Green Mapmaking website. OGM will make its public debut in September 2008, and by the end of the year, users will be able to peruse the Green Schools Green Map's profiles. Both will utilize the freshly updated and award-winning Green Map Icons, our renowned universal symbol system.
The Green Schools Green Map is initially designed to provide an easily understood self-graded Report Card for all of NYC's schools. Users will be able to report their progress on greening their habits, youth projects, school programs, the school's building and grounds, framed for youth assessment as:
* Green Lifestyles at School
* Nature: Fauna and Flora at School
* Youth Leadership on Campus
* Greening Around the School
* School Building and Grounds Maintenance
Year after year, the Report Cards will track the school’s progress, using Green Map Icons to chart improvements, posted online along with students' school Green Maps, reports and more.

Thank you for your continued support!
