California Schools to Get More Shade and Nature to Protect Kids From Extreme Heat
Press Release
Issues: Education Environment
"California is heading into a hotter, drier future and extreme heat will only become more dangerous. We're taking action to protect our kids -- especially in underserved communities -- from hotter temperatures with our best defense: nature. We're helping schools tear out asphalt that can reach 140 degrees on hot days -- planting trees for shade and adding other plants to provide kids with safer, cooler spaces at school."
