It would be great if we had more green roofs around - which is a enviro-trendy way to say "plants growing on the roof." Green roofs help clean the air from that nasty car exhaust, they regulate a building's temperature, and they look pretty good too. Granted, you may not be able to see them from the ground, but wouldn't it be cool to look down from the Space Needle and see a bunch of green roofs? The real ground is pretty much taken up with asphalt, so to grow plants...look up!
Green Roof Blocks is a great company, their blocks are easy to install and don't need to be watered. No word on if they can get TOO much water here in Seattle.
