Biodiversity in the Urban Core can be truly supported by Green Roofs. Here the
Breaking Ground Green Roof has over two hundred different species of wildflowers, herbs, vegetables and plants, attracting pollinators, amphibians, reptiles and birds.

Hopefully we will see more and more Green Roofs within the Urban Core as the worth (economic, ecological and social) of sustainable design becomes more and more apparent.

Just wanted to drop in a comment and let you know that our product Rubb-Roof is very well suited for green roof construction as a waterproof base layer. Find out more at: http://www.rubbaroof.com
This is a great idea! This would definitely work for those people living in apartment complexes and have a wide rooftop or are living in their houses with a rooftop! Not only can we save space but also help the environment and reduce our carbon dioxide footprint!

The caliber of information that you're offering is merely wonderful.trustroofingmelbourne.com
This is amazing! Green roofs are indeed the new innovative idea to help combat global warming. Now that we are consuming all of our available land areas and converting them into commercial complexes, we need to find alternatives to keep our ecosystem balanced, and I think having a green roof is a wonderful solution.

I think a green roof is the future of the green revolution. This is something that every single one of us can do in our own homes, which can really help the declining greenery in our planet. It may not be as great as virgin rainforests, but it will surely do its contribution.
