  "textContent": "Why we should green up pavement joints:\n\n**In Santiago de Compostela, a city planner accidentally discovered something that can keep us all cool: plants in pavement joints can lower ground temperatures by up to 28°C!\n🌡️⬇️ Stone slabs on plazas heat up to 55°C in summer—but where greens grows from the cracks, the ground is measurably cooler.\nThis also affects the microclimate, making the air above cooler too.**\n\n**- Natural air conditioning:** Plants evaporate water and provide shade.\n**- Simple solution:** No expensive projects, just patience and a change in mindset.\n**- Biodiversity:** Even small areas become habitats.\n\nIf you want to take action yourself:\nThere are drought-resistant and trampling-tolerant herbs specifically suited for pavement joints.\n**Proven species include calamint, daisy, biting stonecrop, early thyme, common thyme, spring whitlowgrass, and Irish moss** —they’re resilient under foot traffic, cool the surroundings, smell pleasant, and even suppress unwanted weeds, so you won’t need to pull them anymore.\n\nspektrum.de/news/bewachsene-fu…\n\n#Sustainability #HeatWave2026 #BeatTheHeat #CoolCities #UrbanHeat #ClimateResilience #StayCool #HeatProof #GreenSolutions #NatureBasedCooling #AdaptToClimate #HealthyCities #ShadeMatters #WaterWise #HeatRelief #SustainableLiving",
