Why should we get a Green Roof? Support wildlife habitats Helping out the environment capture carbon and clean the air. 44% of total CO2 emissions are released from buildings. Aiding air quality - green roofs help reduce up to: 37% of sulfer dioxide 21% of nitrous acid 0.2kg of dust particles / square metre each year. They can produce food in places where the land no longer supports farming. Boosting thermal performance Improve the drainage system Increase the lifespan of the roof. Catch stormwater that would otherwise flow off roofs into rain gutters. This reduces urban flooding. Are there any negatives? #nature #ecosystems #regenerative #education #environment #climatechange
