Annually, America has seen an increase in pollution, waste, and resource reduction. Rural areas have served as a primary agent for resources needed to power urban communities. As we continue to see an increase in heat waves, greenhouse gas emissions, stress, and pollution, now is the time to adopt sustainable living in urban communities. Here are four reasons to adopt urban sustainability
Waste Management and Pollution reduction
With urban sustainability, we will have ways to manage the waste we produce daily. It gives us options to refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, and recycle. These efforts will reduce landfill waste and improve our environment.
Education in biodiversity
Encouraging green spaces in urban communities will serve as a tool for learning biodiversity. Giving residents of all ages a platform to learn about plants and animals and the interactions between the two will allow us to preserve the environment.
Boost social interaction
Urban sustainability has the opportunity to create local jobs and events. Jobs and events allow people to connect with society with common thoughts, activities, and shared spaces.
Increase in property value
Improving your residence with good energy performance increases the value of your home. Another way to increase home value is having close to parks and gardens.
Greener cities will serve as a great way to improve environmental challenges.
