View LoMap with a spirit of discovery and make the places on it part of your daily life! Everyone can help nurture nature and culture on this island: It's our world, let's help it ripen into the Green Apple! Scale of LoMap: about 2 miles wide & 4 miles long, about 8 of NYC's 378 sq. miles. 1 inch is about 300 yards/meters. Above Houston St., 20 blocks n equals 1 Mile. NYC is on the Atlantic Flyway and in the Hudson River Valley Bioregion. Not every site is appropriate for all ages. NYC changes constantly (that’s why a few numbers are skipped on this map). You can contact sites before making a special trip.

i Watch for solar sites on the map & as you walk around, spot PV panels on NYC’s streetlights, traffic signs & emergency phones. Now, less than 1% of our electricity comes from renewables like solar & wind, the rest is 44% natural gas, 30% nuclear, 16% coal, 5% oil & 4% hydro (2002-2003 statistics). Each º source has negative environmental & health impacts. º costs are spiraling up, too. Let’s use less º every day by: º Turning off lights, computers, TVs, ACs, etc. when not in use. º Wearing a sweater indoors in winter. º On hot summer days, close the curtains. º Investing in the future with compact fluorescent light bulbs - save $$ & CO2. º F Take great building tours with H greenhomeNYC.org.
