Greening the Urban Landscape
Many people have jumped onto the green revolution of today yet many fail to realize they have been on it for quite sometime. Why, psychologists are saying that environmental factors can induce thrifty behavior even with that very person not knowing about it. Continuing, many new development projects are being made green from the bottom up, allowing them to be sustainable from the start. Existing homes are also getting silently greened with more efficient technology, replacing older appliances and other gadgets in and around the house lessening the demand for electricity, one of our most polluting needs. Trees are becoming part of the urban lanscape more now than ever, helping us keep cooler and giving us shade during those long walks.
