Petition Action

All Rooftops on new buildings must be partially covered by Plants/Solar panels.

Petition Details

Green roofs, have an isolating effect which helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat a building during the winter or cool it in the summer. They are capable of retaining rainwater and reducing problems with run-off, and also offer birds a place to call home in the urban jungle.

Additional Information

Some benefits:
- The plants on green roofs do a great job of capturing airborne pollutants and other atmospheric deposition. They can also filter noxious gasses.

- They open up new areas for community gardens, commercial and recreational space in busy cities where this space is generally quite limited.

- Adding natural beauty and major aesthetic improvement to buildings.

- Assistance with storm water management because water is stored & then taken up by plants & returned to the atmosphere.
