Green Roofs are a living community of plants used to cover human structures. This technology has the potential
to transform our urban communities and global environment. Green Roofs are a success throughout many European countries because of economic
and environmental benefits. In America, this cutting edge technology is on the tipping point of acceptance.
Using Green Roofs will allow the American people to reap the benefits of this proven technology by improving
air and water quality, mitigating storm water impacts, and reducing urban heat islands. Because of their extended life and improved energy
efficiency, green roofs provide cost savings, making them economically beneficial.
Turning Point Productions' educational film, GREEN ROOFS - A STEP TOWARDS SUSTAINABILTY, documents this
technology and its' emergence in the USA. Now is the time to influence this exciting transformation of our rooftop environments from a
useless wasted liability.
