Turning the map Green

Google is a "Green" company -- they care about the environment and now are they getting ready to create their own Green Map?  According to  the official website, the Green Map System is a locally adaptable, globally shared framework for environmental mapmaking -- sounds like something Google would do doesn't it?

Google is a "Green" company -- they care about the environment and now are they getting ready to create their own Green Map?  According to  the official website, the Green Map System is a locally adaptable, globally shared framework for environmental mapmaking -- sounds like something Google would do doesn't it?

Green maps are designed to show eco and cultural resources using a standard set of icons that help identify the links between nature and society.

What do I base this on?  On May 17th, two days ago, Google registered a bunch of new domains that suggest they are doing something along these lines.  The domains are googlegreenmaps.com/net/org/info and greenmapsgoogle.com/net/org/info.
