For the most recent blog post to be "the website is done" creates a rush like you wouldn't imagine. It took a long time to finish. But we must move on, other great things are happening around the world, particularly in the green infrastructure world.
-An article in the journal Environmental Science and Technology was published last month detailing that green infrastructure could improve air quality in urban street canyons by up to 30%.
-And for you truly hardcore lovers of green roofs, a new ASTM International Standard, E2788, has recently been developed. It will help green roof professionals specify the size and weight of expanded shale, clay and slate for their projects.
-If you would like to work up to crunching specifications, like those written by ASTM and live in Toronto, the public library is always the place to go. One of the largest systems in North America, I often send people there to pick up books on green roofs, green walls, green infrastructure and living architecture. Their blog has turned into a GILA hub with posts about the best green roof and urban vertical farming books.
-Lastly for today is a report from the Conservation Law Foundation which details the environmental and health benefits of urban agriculture, and much more, for those living in the Greater Boston area. Happy Reading!!!
