Richmond kicked off its "Cool The City" campaign on Earth Day, launching a five-year initiative to increase green spaces across the city, particularly in areas prone to higher temperatures.

The campaign, created by the non-profit organization Southside ReLeaf, focuses on expanding green spaces in neighborhoods that experience elevated temperatures during hot weather.
