The Green Maps of Jerusalem

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Xz2fLlNpo&rel=1[/youtube] Some people call for Israel to be wiped off the map. We say, put us down on a Green Map. That’s just what a local NGO SPNI and students from Green Course in Jerusalem have done (see the above video). Green Maps is an international enterprise, that lets locals and visitors literally map out ecological and environmental sites of interest.Whether it is cloud-gazing in Alberta or the best vegan restaurant in New York City, Green Maps attempts to tell the story of a place, and let its visitors enjoy local treasures, that would normally take years to find. It is a global word-of-mouth database, that you can help grow.::Green Maps story and Jerusalem Green Maps (in English).
