More Action!
Advocate for Green Playgrounds! In her new book Asphalt to Ecosystems: Design Ideas for Schoolyard Transformation, Berkeley-based environmental planner Sharon Danks explores ways in which landscape design, architecture, child development, and nutrition converge in the schoolyard. Danks, and many others, are inspiring communities to transform asphalt playgrounds of the past into green spaces for better learning, eating, playing and connecting. Encourage your school or neighborhood parks department to bring green playgrounds to your community!
Join the President’s Climate Commitment Do you work or study at a college or university? If your institution of higher learning does not belong to the President’s Climate Commitment, call your president, write an encouraging letter to the school paper, or ask a participating school to make a plea to your president. If your school is a member, make it known that you support their participation. The American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) is working to accelerate progress towards climate neutrality and sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions on campuses, and empowering the higher education sector to educate students, create solutions, and provide leadership-by-example for the rest of society.
