Planting grass or succulents along tram tracks can cool streets, cut pollution and make cities feel more beautiful.

The first time I saw grassy tram tracks in person, I got all misty eyed. They're really really great.

Love this! It makes sense on so many levels.

I wish they wouldn't oversaturate the photos. Grass on a train track doesn't really glow neon green does it?

Would be much better without that last photo. Makes it look like they are faking results to make a point.
