In America…

We see every roof as an opportunity.

---

An opportunity for yellow, green and blue roofs.

Yellow: solar

Green: vegetation layer: to 1) filter water 2) slow runoff to prevent flooding, soil loss, water pollution 3) increase evapotranspiration

Blue: water storage: to collect rain and release it slowly. Further reducing flooding, erosion and pollution of streams, rivers, lakes, oceans

And simple opportunities as well…

Rain barrels and rain gardens to catch that roof water runoff. Slow it down. Allow the earth to drink.
