Your Energy Inspires Us!

Without a wonderful city filled with energized, caring people, the Green Apple Map projects could not have happened! Their energy and diversity have helped each edition of the Green Apple Map - and our many other local green projects - come alive!

This section of the website introduces many of the people who have helped the Green Apple Map grow over the years. Find out about our history, how to get involved, and more.

"Whether helping people create a comprehensive view of a region or a close-up of a city neighborhood, the Green Map System is ultimately about the recognition and revitalization of sustainable living".
- Orion Afield magazine, Fall 1999

The name "Green Apple" was coined on 12/12/91 for this map project. We are pleased that so many greening programs around NYC has adopted it for the same reasons as us: to help the Big Apple "ripen up" into a truly sustainable community!
