Comment 🌳🌳🌳 if you want to see more trees less pavement in your city!
What determines if you'll survive a heatwave? One factor: your proximity to green spaces, which is increasingly reserved for the rich and the privileged.
Extreme Heat events affect the vulnerable the most. This must change. Early warning systems for Heatwaves will never be enough to save lives.
We need:
✅Access for all to cool, accessible indoor spaces
✅Mandate max temperatures for residential buildings (force landlords to put in cooling systems)
✅More trees and green spaces
✅Less cars! More walkable/bikeable cities with free and efficient public transportation
✅Biodiversity protection, save the ecosystems that cool the climate and capture carbon (old growth forests, grasslands, wetlands, etc).
✅Quit fossil fuels
These changes needs to happen literally right now, before thousands more human beings – and animals – die in climate change-fuelled hell weather. What are our elected representatives doing (besides have multiple meetings with fossil fuel lobbysits on a daily basis 🙄)? Blah blah blah. That's what.
