THE San Diego, California Series

We also noticed some GREEN options for tourists' transportation/getting around: several bikes were made available to tourists in some San Diego, California downtown locations. Several cities, such as Norfolk, Virginia, have taken to providing locals the options of GREEN scooters and bikes to mitigate the impact of climate change due to transportation. NASA reported a noticeable difference in environmental health during the COVID quarantine, part of which they hypothesis was due to the high lack of production/consumerism and transportation committed by humans daily.

While in a way GREEN Walls are not new, they are simply house plants placed in a wall structure and maintained there. This concept has really seemed to catch on with the increasing focus and importance of climate change as a decorative way to introduce plants into buildings enhancing and supporting the GREEN building efforts to build more environmentally friendly building. We also noticed such walls in San Diego, California buildings. See the images below:

We will continue to bring you the best mitigation and adaptation practices from around the globe.
