“Green Roofs reduce and filter storm water runoff and absorb airborne pollutants and carbon dioxide. The green roof also reduces energy needs and offsets Urban Heat Island Effect. It’s not only the environment that benefits from green roofs, studies show that exposure to green infrastructure and design can boost the productivity, well-being and overall health of people and communities.”
