Listen • 5:20 The city of Cleveland is trying to address two big problems at the same time: climate change and racial and economic disparities.

Bell-Wheeler is a full-time teacher aide, part-time gardener, and the guardian of all green things in this neighborhood. She wishes there were more of them.
