Vote for Burlington Permaculture proposal 11/02/2009
Burlington Permaculture has developed a proposal for a grant to help flesh out its Burlington Community Resource Map. The recipients of the grant are selected via a public voting process and BP needs your help! To do so, visit http://brighterplanet.com/project_fund_projects - you will see it listed a little bit down the page in the list of proposals, entitled: Burlington Community Resource Map in Burlington, VT TELL ALL YOUR NETWORKS! EACH PERSON WHO VOTES IS ALLOWED 3 VOTES. Here is info about the project: Burlington Community Resource Map $3500 Burlington, VT The goal of the BCRM is to create a web-based “green map” that will chart Burlington’s natural assets, cultural sites, and burgeoning local economy. This green map will be located on the easily-accessible Green Map website (http://www.greenmap.org/) as a Google map, into which asset-specific information can be linked. Community members will be solicited to submit their green business, food-production endeavor, community program, and other resources to the map for publication. We hope that theBCRM will not only act as a support system for businesses, non-profit service providers, community organizers and tourists seeking to learn more about Burlington’s green resources, but will also provide a tool for reducing the carbon footprint of our community, preparing for a low-carbon future, and building a stronger, more resilient Burlington. Funding for this initiative will be used to for: - registration fee to add the BCRM to the Green Map website, - outreach and education to generate awareness, - and wiki that will allow inclusive participation from the community, - data entry, - formatting and publishing a first edition of the BCRM in the spring of 2010, and - a site manager for ongoing updating and management.
