Everything was interesting, but what I liked the most was the first element: green roof. It is very nice but it is also very useful, I think they are increasingly necessary in a city where everything is concrete, as it says in the article, a green roof can reduce the temperature in your home, improve the quality of the local air and is used for bird nesting.
