Customer Reviews
Great info on green living!
Very excited to see this app from Green Map.
The "whats green nearby" feature works well for me in NYC. I discovered a composting site in the neighborhood I've just moved to in Brooklyn!
Great integration of the news feed and Twitter feed. I also live the list of icons and definitions.
I'm looking forward to seeing this app evolve and grow! There are so many people involved in mapping their communities all over the world, this app could be a really powerful tool.
System change not climate change
Great start, can't wait for the updates.
Green Map Movement is Powerful!
Great to see so many places and faces working for a greener world!
