Question by l∑†s p@®†¥ msg me =]: What are better alternatives to green roofs (the kind where you have plants on top of your roof)?
Are there other, perhaps better, alternatives to these types of roofs?
Can you recommend whether or not I should get a green roof?
Does the production, use, or decay of the plants/ trees produce substance that destroy the ozone?

You got me thinking. I suspect that you could probably put a industrial rubber roof, then grow a hearty ivy on raised trellis so the vines don’t claw onto the roof. That would keep the weight off the roof, get about the same effect of a green cool roof.
One advantage to a green living roof is that run off is controlled better. Anything else including my idea would be the same quick run off.
What do you think? Answer below!
