Google Maps:International Cleanup Weekend October 13th and 14th
Posted by gasusan2005 on 10/8/07 in Off topic, The Internet
On October 13th and 14th, Googlers and many people around the world will head out to clean up local parks, beaches, trails and other places close to home.
Googlers are planning cleanups using Google Maps and sharing plans with friends and families, along with an invitation to help. So far, Googlers have sent in almost 100 cleanup maps and proposed plans, and have invited more than 900 of their personal contacts to help.
And since many small cleanups add up to one big impact, they hope you’ll join in too. It takes just a few minutes to plan your own cleanup, make a map of it, and send your map to Google — and they will add it to a growing map of all the cleanups around the world.
If you keep your cleanup small (groups of 6-10 people work best) and close to home, it’ll be easy to organize and you can be sure that you’re doing what’s most important for your neighborhood. After your cleanup, share your work with the world by posting photos and videos to your map.
Here’s how:
Get some friends, pick a spot.
Keep your group small; 6-10 people is probably about right.
Choose a spot that’s convenient for everyone in the group.
