Illegal Acts of Kindness
cities are getting hot.
The built environment is heating up.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect—where urban materials like concrete and asphalt absorb heat—is making cities hotter than their surrounding rural areas. This impacts everyone by straining energy systems, increasing health risks, and exacerbating climate change. Marginalized communities suffer the most, as they lack resources to adapt.
GUERRILLA GREENING
Guerrilla Greening introduces an accessible, guerrilla-style solution: sprayable plant graffiti that cools surfaces. By empowering individuals to reclaim urban spaces and combat climate change creatively, we hope to inspire grassroots action, resilience, and a collective reimagining of urban futures.
