The time for complacency is over as we have to reckon with global warming and its impacts now if we are to save the planet for our grandchildren.

Green walls can act as a passive system reducing energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
One quarter of Americans’ tax burden goes to the U.S. military, which in and of itself emits more greenhouse gases than most nations of the world.
