Earth Pledge Green Roofs Meeting

Earth Pledge’s

Green Roofs Initiative, a program dedicated to greening the rooftops of New York City, recently convened representatives from 22 New York City, New York State, District of Columbia, and federal agencies to explain vegetated roofs’ potential for reducing energy consumption, urban heat island effect, and demand on the city’s combined stormwater and sewage system while purifying the air. The meeting was part of the two-day conference “Greening Gotham’s Rooftops.” Learn more at www.earthpledge.org.
