Treehuggers and Googlemaps
by TreeHugger on 04. 8.05
Google Maps' new satellite feature* was just launched this week and already treehuggers are putting it to good use- over at Mezzoblue a British Columbia treehugger is displaying scary pictures of clearcutting. This tool is so easy to use that it could lead to a whole new world of corporate and environmental whistleblowing.

*if you have not tried it, go to google maps.Type in your (North American) address. Click on "satellite" at the upper right hand corner. There you are!


















I think google's free satellite maps will be an awesome thing. People will be able to explore their world in a way never before possible. It'll be great when they expand it to cover the whole world. The lack of borders is something astronauts often remark about and getting that "borderless world" mentality into ordinary folks can only be a good thing.
