It is HOT in Houston, and getting hotter. Urban heat impacts our health, the economy, and the environment.
Heat also has an unequal impact on various parts of our community, and some Houstonians live in an “urban heat island,” where temperatures are disproportionately higher.
Equitable, collaborative, community-based programs to green urban spaces can improve our quality of life, reduce heat impacts, and support resilience across the city.
The Sierra Club, both the Lone Star Chapter and Houston Regional Group, are interested in wildlife and natural ecosystems. That’s why the most recent information about butterflies is troubling.
We visited the created fresh and brackish marshes and marveled at the blooming native Saltmarsh Mallows, large white hibiscus, and the beautiful and outstanding Crinum Lilies.
