green roof

it is very easy to grow your own green roof,,,,,,,,,, buy drought tolerant local plants,,,,,,, best to plant in the wet season ( if you have one )also bamboos on a balcony between the inside and the balcony edge help reduce air temperature,

The California Academy of Sciences' Living Roof had to make our list. Why? Well, for one thing it's alive. The roof boasts plants, wildlife and butterflies that are all happily living high in the sky, in a manmade sanctuary. The Living Roof is open to the public, so go check it out and learn about how you can green your own roof.
