I think the ability to reuse and build on the data is a powerful sustainability

There are many reasons to use OSM over Google Maps but
"environmentally friendly" seems to not be one of them.
One may try some very indirect things, like that Google Maps
is primarily a place to display ads, therefore pushing consumerism,
