This is quite a difference in Chicago since most of the money ends up in the Chairman's friends pockets. I wonder who owns the green roofing companies around here?
I remember hearing a while back after the success of that Chihuly exhibit, the city was creating initiatives for tree-nurseries in the neighborhood of the Garfield Park Conservatory, trees that would be disseminated to the public for green-roofs. Any truth?
yeah, its almost as thoughtful as a green roof on McDonalds - which The Chairman is really excited about too. even though McDonalds shares responsiblity for the continued deforestation of South America.
i guess, a hundred trees for some grass is a good start. this whole issue might sounds like that little dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dike and saved holland. however, the problem is its not just one hole that needs fixing, its a fleet of consuming robots that need reprogramming...

probably true. the Chairman is full of cockamamy ideas. next we'll all be smelting iron in our backyards too.
I thought it was a good idea!

Well, true - but we all share responsibility. And green roofs are a step in the right direction, despite any underlying hypocrisies ...
