Cool Tucson 5 Degrees: What is the Role of Sustainable Mobility?

Join us for an insightful virtual presentation on Thursday, September 26th, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, where we’ll explore the crucial role sustainable mobility plays in cooling our city by 5 degrees. As part of our fall Sustainable Mobility series, this one-hour session, led by WMG co-founder Catlow Shipek, will dive into the strategies and actions that can help Tucson become a more climate-resilient and cooler city.

Bring the whole family to learn about using native food plants to build rain gardens. Participate in a 1 hour workshop to learn about native edible trees, shrubs, and seasonal plants, and how they can be supported by rainwater harvesting. Those who complete the workshop can take home a native food kit, including a native tree, native shrub, seed packet, and mulch. Please indicate when you register if you'd like to take home a kit (limited one kit per household).

The average Tucsonan uses 80 gallons of water per day from the Central Arizona Project that transports water a long distance from the Colorado River. Join us at the Living Lab, our demonstration site, for this fun activity exploring the sytems we have in place to reduce our dependency on distant watersheds and that make it possible for us to exist on rainwater, stormwater, and greywater most of the time. You will also have the opportunity to think about what you might do in your own home, neighborhood, and work place.
