About 70 families picked up recycled plants.
According to County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick, the goal is to fight the heat island effect that impacts Las Vegas. It’s caused by heat coming from buildings, roads and cars that soak in the sun’s heat, which can make urban areas up to 7 degrees warmer than areas landscaped by plants and trees.
