Source Map - Understanding geographical product life for consumption & production awareness
Hello dear all, I came accross this new platform : Source Map , and found it very compeling ! They use the power of UGC (User Generated Content - like videos on Youtube) and the power of augmented maps, to bring an understanding of products life cycles. What information : They show on maps where the differents elements of a product come from, and then where it is assembled & manufactured, where it is distributed & finally dumped ! What added value : This brings awareness towards smarter consumption and production for suppliers ! FINALLY RELEVANT INFORMATION FOR ALL TO MAKE THE GOOD CHOICES - PARAMOUNT FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE AND DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. > Participate by doing a map if you have production insights and/or use it in your everyday buying choices !!! Here is an example : the iPod !
