Copenhagen's green roof law and green job funding

It's great to read a blog about the World Green Roof Conference in Beijing . Haven't seen that much news coverage, so it's great to know what's going on!

-Heres a press release stating that GREENandSAVE’s Eco Academy announced $1,000,000 dollars in green job training funding seems like a step worthy of mention. Funding will be available primarily to veterans, Home Installation Contractors, Real Estate Agents and Home Inspectors. Gotta register before the 4th of July to get in!

-The Harper government has taken some licks for some of it's G20 and G8 preparations, a living wall, the “signature environmental project” hasn't been spared as there are no cost estimates for the project.

-Reported everywhere, but still important to mention, is Copenhagen's mandatory green roof policy for all new buildings.

-The time for permaculture designworkshops and courses is upon us.
