The article nicely summarizes that all man made structures (and it’s roofs) have a high environmental footprint that cause multiple negative issues, from heat island effect to combined sewer overflow. Unfortunately hardly non of these issues can be solved with a bright roofing membrane, hoping all these issues are reflected – somewhere. Since every building took away a piece of nature, the logical solution is to put such nature back onto of the building. This is common practice and the most effective and efficient solution in Europe for over 45 years. However, this requires the guts for serious and honest change paired with basic common sense. Where this is available in North America has to answer someone else.
