“#Trees can lower air temperature in city neighborhoods 10 lifesaving degrees, scientists have found. They also reduce electricity demand for #airconditioning not only sparing money and #emissions but helping avoid potentially catastrophic #powerfailures during #heatwaves.” #climate #sustainability #urbanforestry
