WHAT IS A GREEN ROOF?

A green roof replaces conventional tile or asphalt with a living roof, composed of a thin layer of foliage over growth medium, drainage material, and a waterproofing membrane. We believe green roofs are one of the best ways to create additional open space in urban areas. (Read more about green roofs.)

WHY HARVEST RAINWATER?

Rainwater harvesting captures, diverts, and stores rainwater for later use. Harvesting rainwater for irrigation conserves drinking water and also conserves energy since it bypasses the centralized water system. Harvesting rainwater reduces stormwater runoff which helps protect our future water supply by decreasing contamination of surface water. (Read more about harvesting rainwater.)
