Take Action
The temperature difference between a shaded area with trees and an unshaded asphalt surface can be as much as 20 degrees!
Isn't it incredible how nature can provide such refreshing relief? Add your name now to help convert dangerous asphalt schoolyards into vibrant outdoor classroom spaces, filled with trees, gardens, and play structures. Your support of Community SchoolyardsŪ projects helps us transform playgrounds from asphalt to amazing.
With schoolyards nationwide becoming increasingly unsuitable for outdoor activity, we need your help now more than ever before. Many schoolyards remain dreary expanses of pavement, rendering them too hot for children to play safely. These asphalt schoolyards not only contribute to rising temperatures but also exacerbate flooding issues in our communities.
Urge your members of Congress to prioritize creating schoolyards that cool neighborhoods, manage stormwater, and provide opportunities for kids to connect with nature.
