Green Map Lands on the Northern Shores of the Green Isle

Kathleen |

My poor site has been feeling rather neglected these past couple of months as I have focused my spare time and attention on two projects dear to my heart: www.zommpa.com the international food magazine blog I co-founded last year, and my new pet project, www.greenmapni.com.

This is my first time using the WordPress app to upload an entire post so bare with me and any formatting challenges and appropriate photo entries.

Back to Green Map! The Green Map System promotes inclusive participation in sustainable community development worldwide, using mapmaking as our medium. This is a not-for-profit initiative developed collaboratively since 1995, and the movement has spread to over 600 cities, towns and villages in 55 countries. This exciting movement has now reached Northern Ireland, thanks to my good friends Tina and Daryl, who are graphic designers and web developers. They are currently in the process of building this highly interactive and dynamic online platform which will use mapping technology to connect all things green and sustainable in Northern Ireland.

The actual Map will go live before the end of the year, but in the meantime you can register your interest by visiting www.greenmapni.com. You can also follow the blog we have set up at www.blog.greenmapni.com and find us on Twitter and Facebook.
