I am completly opposed to Air-conditions propagandized as a solution to climate change. What is the wright approach to combating this state of temporary relief except from old-fashioned fans? Don’t get me wrong. They do the job for me. I am reffering to finding a solution for people more with health issues or large facilities that are in need of something more drastic.

    Urban planning wise: I think ivy walls, or other greenery covering residential buildings.

    For reference, you might want to look up Bosco Verticale in Italy, or lush green roofs in Norway.

    I know this isn’t a catch-all solution, but it could help mitigate climate crisis impact in addition to other options people offered here.

      We grow a grape vine on the south wall, over a large window, using a set of stand-off cables. Warmth and light in the winter and green shade in the summer.

      We are growing it for the foliage, but the delicious table grapes are a nice bonus.
