Hello Fellow LGs,

We all are concerned about Mother Planet - ‘The Earth’. And, we do our best to save our planet in whatever capacity we can do in our day-to-day life. It is our responsibility to take action towards preserving the nature and choosing sustainability.

To further support this, we have got a wonderful platform as a Google Maps through which we can help in choosing eco-friendly place and sustainability. Even our small contribution will make a difference.

Let us contribute to Increase Visibility on Sustainability.

One of the simplest yet effective ways to help others choose Sustainability :recycle: by promoting sustainability attributes of a place by updating the Recycling descriptions for a place[1] on Google Maps.
