The City of Tacoma's Office of Environmental Policy & Sustainability has launched the Green Living Guide<http://wspdsmap.ci.tacoma.wa.us/website/GreenMap/>, an online, interactive map designed to help Tacoma residents live more sustainable lifestyles. Those who attended the recent South Sound Sustainability Expo got a sneak peak at the guide and how it works. The map spans seven topic areas featuring everything from where to see a rain garden in action to where to find businesses working to reduce their carbon emissions: * Transportation - car sharing, electric vehicle charging stations, kayak launches, light rail stations, park & rides, off-street paved bicycle trails, park walking trails, transit centers, and bicycle lanes * Sustainable Purchasing - businesses with EnviroStars certification, selling EarthSure-certified products, and those with the "Paw of Approval" from Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium * Sustainable Agriculture - community gardens and farmers markets * Open Space - parks and natural areas * Green Infrastructure - rain gardens, living roofs and green walls * Green Building, Energy and Recycling - LEED-certified and EnergyStar-certified buildings, solar panels and recycling locations * Education - schools and environmental education resources Each topic area also comes with its own web page listing further resources. The map can be accessed from the City's website at cityoftacoma.org/greenliving<http://www.cityoftacoma.org/cms/one.aspx?objectId=45231>. Tacoma's Office of Environmental Policy & Sustainability develops, promotes and implements sustainable practices through education, community partnerships and performance management. Tacoma is a 4-STAR sustainable community.
