World Green Roof Day is celebrated on
June 6 every year to appreciate the beautiful green roofs that contribute to a
better environment and raise awareness about their importance to climate
change. Did you know the first record of green roofing was the Hanging Gardens
of Babylon, planted in Iraq in 500 B.C.? Also known as living roofs, they
consist of vegetation that partially or completely covers a waterproofing
system. Green roofing lowers the cost of cooling and reduces stormwater runoff.
World Green Roof Day is an initiative by Chris Bridgman and Dusty Gedge,
experts in sustainable green roofs.
