Vote for Climate Change
Happy Halloween and Happy Fall to
the northerners or Spring to the southerners! After evacuating and
then returning to our barrier island home in southwest Florida last
month for Hurricane Ian, we realized the fickle nature of well,
Nature. Grateful as we are for relatively minimal tree damage we
sustained, our neighbors to the south weren’t so lucky. We wish
everyone a speedy recovery.
We recently came back from a chilly Philadelphia and CitiesAlive
refreshed from seeing far-flung colleagues, friends, and exhibitors
– plus learning about what Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and the
Green Infrastructure Foundation has been doing in pandemic mode.
Their 3-Point Green Infrastructure Solutions Plan says to Save,
Restore, and Invest. Didn’t attend? Catch up on all the happenings
in Linda’s
“A Worthy Long Awaited Reunion.”
As we enter November, many events will be covering green living
architecture, from Greenbuild and ASLA in San Francisco to
FutureScape and London Build in the UK to
COP27 in Egypt.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary of the adoption of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Egyptian President
Abdel Fattah El-Sisi says, "I deeply believe that COP27 is an
opportunity to showcase unity against an existential threat that we
can only overcome through concerted action and effective
implementation.”
With the midterm elections coming up here in the US, how about we
vote to support climate change by selecting those who actually
believe in the science AND are willing to do the work to stop it?
