Five Limes Maps

The Five Limes website (a consumer drivin green rating system of services and products) has just become more city specific by offering a user updated mapping system which allows visitors to search for LOCAL green products and services.

While The Pharos Project that I have written about before is based more upon rating building materials for the construction and design market Five Limes offers a rating system for services. I enjoy imagining that this site won't get hijacked by architects and designers in an attempt to tout just how wonderfully "green" they are and instead hope that cleaning companies, natural landscapers, restaurants, markets and more community driven organizations and institutions can use Five Limes to not only get their message out but also drum up more conscientious business.

Either way, I am not surprised at the cities that are currently on the list and hope that soon Cleveland based businesses will start to use this site, until then it is up to us to nominate local businesses and post them up ourselves. Time to start putting a list together. I hope you will join me in getting the word out, not only to area entrepreneurs but also to the international public that Cleveland not only supports a "green" economy but actual excells at it rather well on a local level.
