Google Earth 3D trees and climate change

Climate Change, Trees, UK Climate Change, American Climate Change, Kew Gardens

The sun is back in London and I am heading off  to Kew Gardens to soak up the horticultural delights and hopefully take some photos – especially of the beautiful trees that are at Kew.

Speaking of trees, did you know that Google Earth now has an amazing 3D tree facility that lets you look at how trees compliment our cities. At the moment they only have certain locations like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Tokyo Berlin and Athens mapped but this amazing facility must be good for enhancing the current and future effect of trees for our planet and their importance in fighting climate change. http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/11/3d-trees-in-google-earth-6.html

Another great Google Earth offering is Climate Change in Our World, the product of a collaboration between Google, the UK Government and the Met Office Hadley Centre

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
