A new art exhibition titled "Roots of Cool" at Descanso Gardens in Los Angeles is shedding light on climate inequities and the critical role of trees in creating a healthier urban environment. The show, featuring the works of women artists, emphasizes the significance of trees and the shade they offer in enhancing the quality of city life, particularly in terms of combating the adverse impacts of climate change on urban communities. By highlighting the environmental benefits of trees, the exhibition aims to raise awareness about the unequal distribution of green spaces in urban areas and the need for equitable climate solutions that prioritize the well-being of all residents.
