Happy New Year to all Green Map contributors - the Year of the Water Snake symbolizes progress and creativity – this makes us excited about the possibilities! 

We are pleased to share the achievements of the Shanghai Oasis Center, South China University of Technology and Green Map Xinhui. Each has promoted a wide range of environmentally conscious businesses and organizations in their local communities, as detailed in the blog linked below. 

The Shanghai Oasis Center started its Open Green Map journey in the summer of 2012, and since has gathered over 300 contributors to publish four Open Green Maps - a fifth is in progress! 

Similarly, the South China University of Technology and Green Map Xinhui have respectively produced Open Green Maps highlighting environmentally significant locations as well as cultural and historic sites. We are continually inspired by the progress of these groups and look forward to learning more of their success. 

Our student ambassador, Hui translated and posted their blogs just before she returned home to Beijing. While we miss her, we are excited for her future and know her passion for sustainability will follow her wherever she goes. Her Mother came for graduation and we celebrated together (photo below).

Our Chinese Project Coordinator, Aaron Reiss, has moved into New York City’s Chinatown to improve his language skills. In the coming weeks, we will be working with the group who sent us the message below about creating a Green Map Toolkit for Guangzhou. We appreciate their enthusiasm!

Overall we are happy to note the progress and development of the Chinese Open Green Maps, including twelve interactive projects in Taiwan. We added new features, including the ability to quickly duplicate sites. This made it fast and easy for each Green Map team to add similar types of sites like transit stations, bike share locations and recycling drop off points in their communities.

Watch for our growing momentum in the coming year. As always, thank you for your support. We wish you a healthy and sustainable Year of the Snake!
