Currently, approximately 64 percent of MIT’s campus is composed of impervious surfaces, such as roofing and paving. Green spaces provide areas for recreation and habitats for local wildlife. They also clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and provide natural water management, actively mitigating the effects of climate change."<a href="https://sustainability.mit.edu/tab/landscape" title="https://sustainability.mit.edu/tab/landscape" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more...</a>...
