Thanks for this article and insight on Studio Petrichor positive thinking on how to move forward and not casting blame. We need to figure ways to move forward, acknowledging cites are always imposed on nature and we must learn how to be resilient in the face of climate. We love this summer-dry climate, we like that it is hot and dry in the summer, so we must be sure our cities green infrastructure is watered in the winter. We must design our infrastructure to capture rain when it does come to keep trees (like their mother oak) green, hydrated, and healthy. Water management seems a key buzz word as the blame game gets pushed for politician's spin, but in truth let's do re-think water management before we need it to fight a fire, lets use it to slow down fires to begin with by allocating more water to green infrastructure. Let's ask our city leaders to acquire and use more water for greening our cities.
Yes Yes Yes to all of this!! Looking at our relationship to water and earth (the feminine elements) to protect us from fire and wind (the masculine elements) is KEY. It's so easy for us to get caught up in blame AND such a waste of time. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
