Welcome to the Windsor Eco Map Blog! 
Your one stop blog for EVERYTHING Green in Windsor and Essex County

This map was the brain child of myself and my four colleges who wanted to bring more of a social awareness to environmentally friendly companies, institutions and restaurants within the Windsor Essex County region. With the creation of this directory, it gives the opportunity to promote social awareness of alternative choices, specifically environmental, that exist within Windsor. 

The environment has become one of the most important focuses throughout the world, and we at Windsor Eco Maps thought why not bring about an idea locally where those visiting Windsor who have never been here and want a different experience on their visit rather than the cookie cutter mall shopping and dining? The city is also home to the University of Windsor, where many of the students are out of town visitors looking for "new and fresh" activities to enjoy. That my friends, is what this blog is for. 

Often times, Windsor has this stigma of being a bar city, where people come to go to bars and come to party.  We are trying to change that perception and offer a new experience for those wanting to experience that.  My colleagues and I are all apart of the university community. Some of us are from out of town and some of us are from the Windsor area. We know as students, we often times find ourselves bored in our free time, and anything outside of the hypothetical box in terms of newer activities seems like too much effort. With this blog offering we are hoping to include students, and make their Windsor experience fresh and enjoyable. 

Everyday, we will post a new write up about establishments in the area we think are green, ethical, and worth giving a visit along with its location on our own personalised directory. This blog offers an opportunity to know what you're getting yourself into before you actually try the place out and invites you all to post your comments and experiences about the places you have visited yourself.  

You can also enjoy the blog experience at your finger tips through our free app and stay in the now with new posts, news and events going. 

More to come soon!
