Must be pretty disappointing for a journalist to write up a story like this then have an editor put a negative click bait headline on it.

How long have you been #composting? In Taipei I don't have a house with garden like in Peru, but I joined forces with other students and we do it in campus. #Foodwaste from the cafeteria, sawdust from the Forestry department, and vegetable plots for all of us to enjoy #recycle #waste #greencities

Wildlife is down 73% in 50 years. But 5 cities — Barranquilla, Belém, Durban, Incheon & San Francisco — are proving urban growth and biodiversity can coexist. Real projects, real results. 🌿🏙️ happyeconews.com

While a majority of households don’t compost, an encouraging 69% said they would start if they had better access‼️ Cities can help give their residents this access by creating composting programs and ensuring appropriate access to facilities. 🗑️ #greencities #compost

Did you know 72% of American households don’t compost their food scraps? 🫢 With only 12% having access to public composting programs, there’s a lot of room for local governments to help their communities make a positive climate impact🧵 #greencities #climatepolicy

Climate action won’t be decided by megacities alone.
Intermediate-sized cities, home to most urban residents, are key to cleaner air, inclusive transport and climate resilience.

Trees also sequester carbon! 🍃 In fact, urban trees in the U.S. store more than 700 million tons of carbon. Adding more trees to our cities can help offset carbon emissions and improve air quality. #climate #greencities

The cooling offered by increased canopy cover is no joke! ❄️ The temperature underneath a tree can be 25°F colder than the temperature above uncovered blacktop.
This cooling effect can help mitigate the heat island effect that warms dense urban areas. #climate #greencities

[6/6] Le choix des essences devient stratégique. Les érables sycomores, frênes et hêtres souffrent davantage, tandis que chênes verts ou pins méditerranéens résistent mieux. La végétalisation est un outil d’adaptation climatique et de justice thermique urbaine.

[1/6] L'article analyse la diffusion des stratégies de végétalisation dans les villes suisses face au réchauffement urbain. Depuis le début du XXIe siècle, la température moyenne a augmenté d’environ 2°C dans les grandes villes, renforçant les îlots de chaleur.

As we race toward a renewable future, the conflict between energy production and land conservation is growing. Large-scale solar farms often occupy vital agricultural and natural spaces, but a smarter solution exists in our urban parking lots. By installing solar canopies over paved areas, we can generate clean energy exactly where it is used while providing shade for vehicles and reducing city heat.
Stop Building Solar on Farms Start Building on Parking Lots! #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GreenCities #SolarCanopies #RenewableEnergy

When I was in Berlin, it struck me again how much of the natural cycles our way of building and living blocks.
We have paved over so much that could be thriving!
