Google maps is great to show all type of locations all over the world…
Google maps is also great at showing you a rating of how much people actually like it by 1-5 
…
BUT Google maps is unfortunately pretty useless, if you want to find out the most sustainable locations. Let it be vegan restaurants, small & local grocery stores, eco-fashion, etc… If you consider yourself as a “LOHAS” for example and live a Lifestyle-Of-Health-And-Sustainablity you need many other maps to find what you’re looking for. But that doesn’t have to be…
So what did I do, and what can YOU do now?
It’s quite simple: to better understand how sustainable a location is, i broke the huge topic of ”sustainability” or “ecology” down to a simple formula: L.O.V.E.! This acronym stands for LOCAL, ORGANIC, VEGAN & ECO.
And each of the 4 categories gets (similar to the ) PLANETS 
instead (but from 0 to 5 - because ZERO sustainable places exist unfortunately) that indicate how much this category is fulfilled. In every one of my recent reviews (mainly for restaurants) I add the rating e.g. like the one below:
‘L.O.V.E. Earth’ Sustainability Score (0-5 Earths): (17/20)
LOCAL: 
ORGANIC:
VEGAN:
ECOLOGICAL:
(this sustainability rating is separate from the google maps review, see more: l-o-v-e.earth)
This works for Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, Grocery Stores, Supermarkets, Clothing Shops, etc… - pretty much all places where you consum and shop. (Yes, clothes or home deco can of course also be ‘vegan’… 
). It is actually even used on a product level for the “L.O.V.E. Price Checker App” to compare the sustainability & prices for different products…
With this L.O.V.E. Rating you can get a quick overview - and even decide according to your preferences (e.g. if organic or vegan would not be important for you).
So what’s behind each category: (there’s actually a more detailed list behind each category with several questions that indicate the amount of planets to be given)
To make it shorter - here’s something visual for you:
Check out my blog L.O.V.E. Earth for more details, all rated locations and feel free to comment or send me a message! I would love to hear any feedback from your side!

PS: if you are interested in using my L.O.V.E. scheme, please get in touch with me. I am happy if it will be adopted by more people all around the world. But to make sure we have the same understanding of each category and the given, I would have to share you the detailed questions and scheme - this way it will be benefitial for everyone all around the world as it always means the same!
