LEARNING FROM GREEN ROOFS

摘要

Standing on the rooftop at St. Simon Stock Catholic School on East 182nd Street in the Bronx, New York, Daniel Simon, marketing director of the Gaia Institute, points to a neighboring high-rise apartment building. A couple is looking down from a high window over the rooftop garden. "Those people have been living here a long time," says Simon, "and one day they had a green roof to look at instead of city construction."
