Governor Martin O’Malley today released the Maryland Genuine Progress Indicator Policy Maker calculator, a tool that will allow users to manipulate various economic, environmental and social factors to see what impact these mock scenarios would have on the world around them.
“This tool will help us see how small lifestyle changes can help ensure a more sustainable future for ourselves and for our State,” said Governor Martin O’Malley.
The new Calculator allows visitors to alter one, some, or all of the 26 indicators that make up the Genuine Progress Indicator. This means users can create true-to-life or hypothetical situations to see how certain factors compliment or play against one another. Once the factors are adjusted, the results show the user whether the changes positively or negatively affect Maryland’s genuine progress rating, information that can be used to assist in policy decisions.
