Je, ni hali na mipango gani ya kipekee ambayo umechukua au unapanga kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa?

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

Je, ni matatizo au fursa zipi zinazokusumbua zaidi katika jamii yako ambazo zinaweza kutumiwa kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa?

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.

Ni vipengele vipi vya kipekee vya bustani yako vinaweza kutumiwa kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa?

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.

Je, ni nguvu gani za kipekee za kuzuia taasisi au jumuiya yako inakabiliana nazo ambazo zinakuzuia kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ipasavyo? Unawezaje kuuelekeza mkutano huu wa nguvu mbali na maelewano na kuelekea upatanisho na maelewano?

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.
