San Diego botaniska trädgård

Vilka unika situationer och initiativ har ni tagit eller planerar ni att ta för att hantera klimatförändringarna?

We are beginning educational programs focused on holistic, plant-based living.

Vilka är de mest akuta problemen eller möjligheterna i ditt samhälle som kan utnyttjas för att hantera klimatförändringarna?

The largest problem we face is probably increased drought. We utilize highly efficient irrigation systems, as well as grey and purple water conspicuously so as to demonstrate these technologies to the public. It’s also amazing how important mulching is to retain soil moisture and reduce water use in our climate.

Vilka unika egenskaper i din trädgård kan utnyttjas för att hantera klimatförändringarna?

We are fortunate to be in a very temperate, coastal climate. We aim to use as little heating and cooling energy as possible, which is facilitated by our mild climate.

Vilka unika krafter står din institution eller ditt samhälle inför som hindrar dig från att hantera klimatförändringarna på ett effektivt sätt? Hur kan du styra detta möte mellan krafter bort från kompromisser och mot försoning och harmoni?

One of these restraining forces is living in a suburban area not well served by public transportation and where car usage is incredibly high. We are actually joining forces with other nonprofits in our neighborhood to advocate for increases in public transportation services to our facility as well as non-fossil fuel based options, such as bike shares.
