Make that drool-inducing gorgeous photos of places I’d love to see in person. EcoGeek (now added to my regular feeds) has a fun piece on green roofs. Not just solar tiles or recycled materials, though; these roofs are actually green, with grass and other plants.
It’s not just for hobbits anymore. The logic of green roofs is becoming more apparent. We can minimize our bills while maximizing the beauty of the urban landscape. And every day it’s becoming a little easier to live in a house that just happens to have plants growing on it.
Maybe for you, my friend. Maybe for you. The rest of us will just watch and dream.
One drawback is that, if I’m not mistaken, vermiculite contains asbestos. Thus, one would need to make sure the materials used for your “green” roof are also environmentally “green.”
