  • green roofs are expensive! Im looking at buying a home and renovating it in 5 ways to make it Eco friendly. green roof, solar, insulation, compost, and a water cellar. my goal is to conserve the habitat, and make it easier to retire. not spending money on electricity, and gaining some tax breaks is a great opportunity. green roofs are spendy, who who chose bamboo? cause they need to be shot!

  • its funny when people use the lower bids or use the wrong materials. it happens all the time.

  • Reason # 1 why you use a good green roof company to help you select plants and root barriers.

  • lol yeah , noob engineers

  • what is bamboo doing ona green roof?! i thought you had to use specific plants... what did you expect?

  • haha. One guy is speaking Korean while the other dudes speak english. One time he says "I knew this was gonna happen."
