What did you learn on your green roof tour?
Kim Wade 4/22/2019 8:44 AM
A green roof tour, if constructed properly, can be VERY beneficial to a buildings HVAC system. Lightening the load of solar gain allows for less energy use to compensate with conditioned air. Green roofs, if done correctly, can be maintained with minimal effort.

Why is taking action on climate change important to you? Why do you care?
Kim Wade 4/19/2019 11:37 AM
I accept the fact that human beings are contributing more to global warming than the natural cycle of the earth. I believe the human species has the intelligence to stop our own contributions. I believe we should lead the way to change what drives our technology ($) to that of responsibility to leave a healthy earth behind for further generations to enjoy. I have two small children , that's why i care.
