Why America Needs You

• 🔥 Wildfires & Drought: California lost 2.2 million acres to wildfires in 2023.

• 🏙️ Urban Heat Islands: NYC temperatures rise 10°F above suburbs due to concrete sprawl.

• 🐠 Coastal Erosion: 40% of Florida’s mangroves degraded in the past decade.
  
  

TAHK’s U.S. Focus:

1. Urban O2 Parks: Native tree planting in NYC (oaks), LA (redwoods), Chicago (maples).

2. Tech-Driven TAHKathons: Hackathons with Google, Microsoft, and Tesla for carbon-neutral innovation.

3. Coastal Restoration: Mangrove replanting in Florida, kelp forest revival in California.
