How can trees help you this summer? ☀️🌡️
🌳 Trees reduce temperatures through shade and transpiring water. One mature tree can produce the same cooling effect as 10 ACs 🍃🆒
This becomes an effective tool in reducing urban heat islands in cities.
Are you ready for it?

📷 Record things such as pollution and wildlife and gather crucial data on river health.
