Article Summary: 

Green roofs are a layer of vegetation grown on a rooftop, providing a natural oasis from the city. They can be virtually maintenance free with the use of drought-resistant plants. Benefits include energy savings, more comfortable internal temperatures, reduced landfill, better rainwater management, and improved air quality. In Europe, some have been known to last up to 60 years. Green roofs offer new amenity space for communities short of green space while helping to reduce other expenditures.
