🚀 Course Title: Climate Change & Daycare/Schools/Homes: Reducing the Heat

🌡️ Course Headline: A Hands-On Course with 20 Actionable Tips on Cooling Down Hot Yards in Daycares, Schools, and Homes Naturally 🌍

Is your yard getting too hot? 🔥

It's a challenge many of us are facing. With the 19 hottest years on record since 2000 (📈), and heatwaves causing more deaths than all other natural disasters (🌋🚨), it's clear that our planet is warming up - and so are our yards.

• Heatwaves are expected to become hotter, more frequent, and longer as global temperatures rise.
• Yards in daycare centers, schools, and homes are feeling the heat, with surfaces like astroturf reaching scorching temperatures of up to 100°C on hot summer days (🌞).
• In the U.S., visits to the ED by children during the warmest months have risen by 12% (EHP 2022) - a stark reminder of the dangers of overheated spaces.

📣 The Truth About Today's Yards:

Most yards in daycare centers and schools were designed without considering the impact of climate change or the increasing frequency of heatwaves. These spaces have become open-air ovens, filled with concrete, astroturf, and other artificial materials that turn them into heat traps.

Children, who are often the least responsible for climate change, are bearing the brunt of these environments. It's time to take action!
