I went kayaking in Charleston harbor on Tuesday courtesy of Coastal Expeditions. While there, I stumbled upon the Greater Charleston GreenMap. It’s a traditional map of the greater Charleston area, but with all kinds of green locations highlighted.

It’s a map that identifies, promotes, and links eco and cultural resources. It’s about everyday choices, specific ways to spend your time and money to help the planet, to support local businesses and the local environment, and enjoy what is environmentally and culturally special in the greater Charleston area.

That’s good stuff. Unfortunately, you can only get the map by purchasing it. While I do admire their efforts, I would like to see this map/project be online, free, and shareable, rather than on paper, $10, and with limited reach. Nevertheless, it’s a great idea with an important goal – to support green activities in our area.
