The Green Map Project in Hadera (2021–2023)

Rain gardens are the first line of defence against toxins leaking into local watersheds. Gardens of marshy, native plants attract pollinators with their blooms and filter polluted runoff with their roots, making sure that no chemicals end up in urban streams and rivers!💧Together we can protect our watersheds and generations of salmon to come!

Originally called the Green Apple Map, this New York City project was the the very first Green Map! About 25 editions have been created at either the citywide or neighborhood level. It has impacted the world by creating an example that sparked the Green Map movement.It gave New York City a chance to be known for all the sustainability practices its home to, and gave New Yorkers and visitors the ability to get started on a greener pathway or career.  It's been central to the director's eco-design practice and gave Wendy Brawer access to to collaborations, appointments and travel worldwide.

Paris is a city where the Green Map project did not 'gel' and there was no published edition, as far as we know. Then, we had a policy of one Green Map project per city to reduce confusion and rivalries. There were two parties who wanted to get Paris rolling,  and our nonprofit introduced them and encouraged them to work together. Alas, their goals were too different and both moved on to other projects.  We learned to match people carefully, and eventually ended that exclusive policy.
