Googling Green Orlando

The Earth Day Network and Google Maps have teamed up to create an environmentally friendly tour of Orlando and other parts of America including, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. This site has been live for about a week, but seems to be a great idea - especially if we get the word out.

Listed are: Chamberlin's Market & Café, Disney's Port Orleans Resort, Horse World Riding Stables, Orlando Science Center, and Forever Florida. Each location is defined on the Google Map, includes the address, website link, and often an audio tour. Switch to satellite or hybrid view for closer inspection of the terrain.

The homepage is also very interesting. Scroll through the search tips for more clues about using Google Maps to find green resources. You will learn that you can search for "environmentally friendly hotel" or "organic spa" and Google will take care of it. Amazing.

Comments or other tips are welcome. Have fun.
