-A couple of students in India get a free ride to Saint Mary's University for designing a green roof. New info quantifies some additional benefits of green roofs, before coming to Canada I hope the kids get some good performance results of their own.
-While Toronto cancelled its downspout program, Portland's is still going strong. They even PAY people to disconnect the downspouts, why didn't Toronto think of that instead of getting city workers to do it??? I fear Toronto may loose its green roofs bylaw as well, as the current Mayor was one of two to vote against it when he was on city council. Quick, get this report
in his hands, stat!
-On the bright side, in the Philippines it looks like one ambitious senator hopes to have government sponsored vertical farming research and wide spread urban agriculture adoption. And on the North American continent, it looks like another Maine town (number 3!!!) is ready for their own food sovereignty law!
