Help against the heat

154
It is very hot in Austria now. The road gets very hot in the sun. It reaches up to 60 degrees. The group VCÖ wants help against the heat. Big car parks need more shade. Companies must plant trees for 30 car parks. They must also remove hard ground. This is called to entsiegeln. This means: Water can go into the ground again. Plants cool the air. Without shade cars get very hot. It is 45 degrees in 15 minutes.

People also want help in Wien. The party Die Grünen wants many new trees. Trees cool the city better than buildings. The city must protect schools and care homes. This happens with shutters or opening windows at night. Buses and trains must be cool. The city Wien does a lot. There are many water fountains. There are also cool rooms for everyone. These rooms are called Coole Zonen. People rest there for free.
