Earth Pledge Launches GreeningGotham.org

With the support of EPA, the New York City nonprofit Earth Pledge has launched a new Web project to support the greening of local rooftops. GreeningGotham.org “envisions the rooftops of New York City transformed from a barren landscape into a living network of meadows and gardens.” Visit the Web site to see what that might look like! In coming months the site will include the hows and whys of green roofs, case study descriptions, and a list of recommended NYC professionals. Greening Gotham has already earned the support of Mayor Bloomberg, the National Resources Defense Council, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Jonathan Rose, and Douglas Durst, among others.
