That's cool.


Green roofs would go a long way to assist in the urban problems. They didn't mention storm water run-off issues. Portland, OR has a significant initiative on wastewater treatment and infiltration system credits for HOs.


Anybody know about flexible sidewalks or porous concrete/ paving?
