“From flooding to pollution in our bayous, stormwater runoff is causing a lot of problems in Houston,” said Environment Texas Executive Director Luke Metzger. “Historically, we counted on natural ecosystems like wetlands and prairies to absorb significant amounts of rainwater, but that’s a lot harder to do in paved urban environments. Houston is smart to work to mimic nature by greening up the city.”
From buzzing bees to howling wolves, and from ancient forests to sprawling coastlines, our natural world is a gift that keeps on giving. Will you donate today to help keep it that way?
