Ever wondered how you could live greener? Here’s an idea: Green Roofs! meera-house-by-guz-architects

Here are some benefits:

1)It reduces the cost of heating and cooling costs because there is an added layer of insulation!

2)It also reduces the amount of run-off rain water because your Green Rooftop will absorb and use the water!

3)It creates a natural habitat while filtering the pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air.

Could you imagine how green our concrete jungles could be if only we installed green roofs? Although they are still being studied and researched, green roofs are a sustainable way of living.  Take some time out of your day to see what you can do to become a green citizen!
