It’s not just rooves which can be made green. Many new buildings
are being designed with green walls already part of their infrastructure. The benefits
of green walls also called vertical gardens, are similar to those of green
rooves. Unlike green rooves however, green walls provide most of the benefits at
our level (though shed rooves are not far off). As well as taking carbon
dioxide out of the atmosphere closer to where we breathe they are also more
visible as we go through our day than green/ garden rooves. Standing in a roof
garden is far easier than standing in a vertical one though.
