Download and
open the 150 dpi print-ready PDF. Print a double-sided copy, as described
here. Make sure all the pages are
in order, including front and back covers. Clip temporarily so the pages
stay neat. Then, bind along the left side. 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) from the edge,
you can:

Consider making a copy for your local library! Your school or community
group might want to work together to make the books, too.
Once bound, your Atlas will become sturdy enough to stand up in a bookcase,
be read over and over, and last a long time. We encourage your creative
and ecological approaches to binding the Atlas —please share your
best ideas with us by mail or email.
We will showcase your Atlas books on this web page.

If
you are interested in making more than six copies of the Atlas or
reproducing it, in whole or in part, in a magazine, book, classroom
reader, website or other form of media, you must refer to our legal
section, contact us and receive permission in advance. It is required
that the copyright mark and ownership be clearly visible on all copies.
| As
an alternative to binding, the Green Map Atlas can be printed
out, mounted and exhibited, so several people can view a single
copy. You may want to obtain copies of the featured Green Maps
to display, too. Tell us about your exhibit and we will list
it with other Atlas events on our News
page. |
