- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- It is well documented that Bushwick faces alot of flooding that impacts a large portion of the population. There is also extreme heat that occurs due to the lack of greenery here.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Create more rain gardens that neighbors adopt and maintain. There will be planted with nature NY plants. These gardens could also have trees planted to help with the shade. Finally, schools or other public spaces like precincts, NYCHA buildings should be required that atleast 25% of their roof should be a green roof.
- Please provide your Zip Code
