  + stars: | 2024-03-26 | by ( Associated Press | March | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +8 min
With anti-immigrant rhetoric on the rise and a contentious election ahead, some donors see the Girl Scouts as wading too readily into politically controversial waters. “It’s our job.”While Troop 6000 has found plenty of sympathetic supporters, “there are some donors who would prefer their dollars go elsewhere,” says Maskara. So, when the mayor’s office floated the idea of starting a troop at the Midtown shelter, the Girl Scouts were ready. The Girl Scouts have not been immune to the backlash, nor is it the first time they’ve shouldered criticism from conservative donors. While Troop 6000 has not been deterred, Maskara says that many of her peers in the nonprofit world have been fearful to publicly support newcomers.

☆ Why so many buildings in Singapore are covered in plants
  + stars: | 2023-09-19 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Singapore is trying to fight rising temperatures partly by making its buildings greener, literally. One central strategy is to literally make the city greener by covering rooftops and the facades of buildings with plants. Under its Skyrise Greenery Incentive Scheme, Singapore pays property owners up to 50% of the cost of installing green rooftops and facades. And the green buildings can attract tourists looking to patronize eco-friendly businesses. Toronto passed a law in 2009 requiring that buildings of a certain size have green roofs.

Selma Hepp renovated a converted garage in her Burbank backyard and now rents it on Airbnb. The state has passed a series of laws allowing for, and in some cases helping pay for, ADU construction. Courtesy of Selma HeppEighteen months into the process, Hepp finally had drawings from a different architect. During the course of construction, Hepp started dating someone new, and they ended up buying a home in Mid City, a neighborhood in Central Los Angeles. She also managed to refinance her mortgage a few times over the past several years and pays $2,700 a month, which is now covered by her ADU's rental income.
