Putting Environmental Justice on the Map

Michael Heimbinder, founder of habitatmap.org, presented a new tool for environmental justice to the Newtown Creek Alliance last Wednesday evening. The new website shows a number of environmental issues, brownfields, and companies on a map, especially around the Newtown Creek that separates Brooklyn and Queens.

The website also functions as a wiki, so users can contribute and edit information, as well as place new geographic entries on the site. It's worth browsing around- there's already a great deal of information on the site.
