From Spectrum News 1:

“Revis said as simple as it sounds, planting trees reduces localized air pollution and adds more shade to a neighborhood helping cool the area down. For Revis, it’s also an easy jumping-off point to help engage the community on issues of climate change. 

“[We can make a difference] without getting into things like the ice caps are melting and the wildfires out west. It’s about issues that already are well familiar with, are living with on a daily basis and making that connection to climate impacts,” she said. 

Groundwork wants its projects to be collaborative and empowering for the neighborhoods they work with, so Revis said it's essential they involve community voices in both the planning and intervention processes. The Green Team allows neighborhood youth to take an active role.”
