Bloomberg ups the green roof ante

Happy October. It's been a while, lots happening at the ranch and around the living architecture world too.

-I found it quite interesting that this week marks the first, that I've heard, of a company proposing a sustainable land devleopment, which includes a wind turbine, zero impact housing, storm-water management techniques and urban agriculture plots which will donate their produce to a local food bank.

-United Nations University has this profile of a research who can turn plastic back to usable oil. Seriously, I'm not kidding. How much???

-Will Allen and Growing Power and several other urban farms across the US, are raising funds to receive $20,000 in prizes. A dollar or two to any urban farm is well worth it.

-Rotterdam is not messing around approaching 10% green roof coverage. Oh and New York City has made some power moves.

-Nice living wall photo, the folks who own this home love the color green.
