Urban Heat Island 8.14.2007 | 1 Comment(s)

To feel the effects of the "urban heat island" wait until the sun has gone down for a few hours and take the dog out in the backyard for a business transaction. Walk away from the brick and stone of your home and step into the grass. You will experience a noticeable drop in temperature; walk closer to your house and the temperature rises.

Stupid environmental tricks, I've got it covered.

This is why you can get away with planting things close to your house that normaly wouldn't survive in the cold of winter.
