Green social networking with google maps mash-up
Interesting site from the Australian Conservation Foundation. ‘Who On Earth Cares’ brings together Australians who want their country to reduce greenhouse emissions.
The site allows users to log their carbon output and monitor their reductions. Using a google maps mash-up users can also see who else in their neighbourhood is making an effort for the environment, and peek at the kinds of commitments people are making, such as:
- Install a water efficient shower head
- Set my washing machine to wash my clothes in cold water
- Turn off computers and screens overnight at work and home
- Eat one less serve of meat a week
- Drive 20 kilometres less each week
The site also shows the impact these promises make, in the form of counter showing how personal efforts equate to cars taken off the road. When I last looked personal reductions added up to the equivalent of almost 11,000 cars disappearing from the road.
