green roof
A rooftop greening system that proclaims harmony with nature while saddling residents and managers with crushing maintenance costs. It stages a propaganda showcase of environmental virtue, yet secretly breeds daily dramas of leaks and anarchic weeds. Plant beds quickly evolve into jungles, dragging crews into a hell of endless weeding. Amid the visual splendor, a mounting repair bill awaits those enthralled by the greenery. This is the true face of the trendy “green revolution.”
