Green Roofs.
A green
roof is an organic, sustainable rooftop system that
incorporates drought tolerant plants with a soil growing
medium to receive, process and transpire rainwater.
The green roof concept is a water conservation tactic
that serves a much greater environmental strategy.
Atlanta
has storm water and waste water problems which the city
is in the process of correcting. We also have
serious air quality concerns. Considering the
robust commercial and residential development growth we
continue to face, proactive measures which compliment
our environmental and infrastructure improvements will
help to protect these investments and ensure that they
are not obsolete in our lifetimes.
Green roofs are
one such measure.
