REFLECTION QUESTION
Buildings Learn about 'Green Gentrification'

Cities and towns need to plan for climate change. How can your city or town make its climate action plans equitable and socially just?

If we make taller instead of wider buildings so they are using more ground space and keep community gardens and the top of these buildings green, then it will help filter out C02 emissions.

Had you ever heard of biomass technology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share your new knowledge with your friends!

Aleah Rowe 4/27/2021 8:59 AM

I have heard of renewable energy, not the term biomass technology. I think it is really neat how we are turning old living things into renewable energy, and using that instead of fossil fuels which are more harmful to the environment.

Land Sinks Forest-Friendly Foods 1

How is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?

Aleah Rowe 4/20/2021 8:41 AM

I currently don't eat red meat so for me eating more sustainable meats, and eating less of them can help with deforestation because corn is fed to those animals and corn to get planted the area needs to get deforistized.
