Sometimes there are nice things to say. Here is a nice article about green roofs, something that Chicago has had its eye on for a while. Mayor Daley instituted a grant program for green roofs in 2001, at the same time turning the City Hall roof green.

Chicago tops the surveyed group (estimated to be approximately 60% of all green roof industry activity) in square feet planted in 2007 at 517,633.


The city is nice enough to offer this guide to rooftop gardening.
