I signed up for a two hour discussion of Green Roofs conducted by the EPA. We had about 1000 people online and here are some good links and contacts. There is a great video worth while watching – Reduce Runoff: Slow It Down, Spread It Out, Soak It In
GREEN ROOFS – BEAUTIFUL AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO STORM WATER RUNOFF
