Maceió’s charming streets, dotted with cafes and lively outdoor seating, hold untapped potential to become more than just social hubs. Imagine these streets transformed into lush, tropical urban forests that offer shade, cool the air, manage water naturally, support climate resilience, and create emotionally secure spaces for residents and visitors. This vision is achievable if the community embraces growing tropical plants around their doors, gates, and outdoor seating areas

Tropical plants could save the world — not through grand gestures or futuristic technologies, but through quiet, repeated acts of care inside ordinary subtropical homes.
