GreenMap MIT is a project to produce green maps of Cambridge, MA and the
MIT campus. A green map plots the locations of environmentally and culturally
significant resources e.g.; recycling centers, toxic waste sites, public art,
community gardens and socially conscious businesses. The green map initiative
was created by Green Map System, Inc. as a
means of public education.
Rekindling

The project has been somewhat dormant for awhile, but I'm looking to kick it
back into gear with plans for expansion. In particular, I'm seeking partners
to aid in adding Somerville to the map. In the mean time, I intend to merge
the many Resources collecting in my spool. Of particular
interest is the "Kendall Square"
Farmers' Market.

I finally replaced the scan of the Greater Boston region of the MassGrown map with the copy that includes farm details. I prepared this in September but forgot to post it! Sorry about the 9 month delay.
