Special Colour Location Pointer on Google Maps highlighting Shopping Centres with a Greener approach

My idea is for Google Maps to consider using Green Location Pointers to indicate which shopping centres focus on implementing a greener approach to shopping and thus encouraging shoppers to think Green throughout the shopping visits!.

 

If Shopping Centres adhere to the following 5 points, they will be qualified to be marked out on Google Maps with a Special Colour Location pointer.

 

1. Plants displayed in a creative yet natural way around the shopping mall so that shoppers especially younger shoppers will think of having more plants around them, at home and to encourage them to discuss topics at school which make a school garden and taking home plants over the summer holidays a major aspect of school life, through shopping malls donating plants to schools.

2. Displaying posters showing the nearest nature and wildlife conservation areas and competitions for younger shoppers.

3. Displaying posters showing the nearest recycling, food and clothes banks.

4. Having events in the malls with guests from nature reserves giving a talk on nature and wildlife so that young shoppers will be encouraged to join at a reasonable subscription fee.

5. Encouraging nature and wildlife fetes and summer parties by offering to give prizes to the best paintings or craftwork in a young children's competition held locally with schools.

 

A Special Colour Location Pointer (with explanation given in the left hand column of the Map) will indicate that the shopping malls which adhere to the above points, are considered by Google as encouraging others to think Green.

I look forward to hearing what you think, Google team! 

 

Thanks!

I have started off my campaign with an email to a shopping mall I would love to see adopt a greener approach to the mall so I am looking forward to their response.

On 8th June, I received an email from the shopping mall I had emailed (see email in comments section, dated 10 May 2019), showing how much 'greener' the newsletter updates were!

 

Then news just in, yesterday, 10th June, the town centre was being 'cleaned up' - with £700 spent daily to give the area I mentioned a 'face lift'!

 

👏👏👏

I was looking for an email regarding how to upload my ESTA (similar to a Visa) and I read the response to my review from the shopping mall's organiser/management team:

It's really good to know that shopping malls like the Putney Exchange are responsive to making our shopping experience a pleasant one!It's really good to know that shopping malls like the Putney Exchange are responsive to making our shopping experience a pleasant one!
