About Dear Green Place.

Dear Green Place is a creative venture which aims to provide accessible information about sustainable resources across the city through the development of Green Maps. Starting with the theme of Recycling and Reuse, the initiative has successfully produced a printed map of community reuse projects and charity shops and is in the process of developing a web-based version of this map.

Over time we hope to add more information on a range of different topics including food, transport, energy and green spaces. Green Maps are locally produced maps that use the shared visual language of the Green Map icon system to explain and explore sustainability. The project works in partnership with over 300 Green Mapping projects from across the world in locations diverse as Tokyo, Cork, New York, Warsaw and Bali.

Help cultivate Dear Green Place.

Green Maps don't create themselves. This project is the result of many hours of volunteer time. If you have time and skills, particularly programming skills, writing and design skills, contact us to find out more about how to get involved.

This is Glasgow's first Green Map designed to make recycling and reusing across the city easier.

Use the map to locate places you can:

Donate unwanted goods to charity shops and community reuse projects.

Find places you can buy a wide range of reusable house hold goods and furniture.

Volunteer and support local organisations helping to develop a more sustainable Glasgow.
