The increasing population growth in cities calls into question (or enters into a gray area) the future of green space. When every area of a city is constructed for housing and other buildings, the area of green space per capita shrinks. If the vegetation that has, over time, been ripped out to make space for more human activity can be thought of as the gray matter of the ecosystem, what is it that we are doing to the intelligence of our planet\u2019s environment? With climate change, our insatiable waste, and minimization of plant life, how will our health as city dwellers be impacted by the diminishing environment we rely upon for water, air, and food?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Matter \/ Gray Space is a play on words from the terms \u201cgreen space\u201d (an area of grass, trees, or other vegetation set apart for recreational or aesthetic purposes in an otherwise urban environment) and \u201cgray matter\u201d (the darker tissue of the brain and spinal cord, consisting mainly of nerve cell bodies and branching [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3616,"template":"","categories":[9,187],"tags":[100,560,416],"class_list":["post-3612","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aquifer","category-visual-art","tag-environment","tag-landscape","tag-photography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
