Cool stuff. Dahn Tahn Pittsburgh is getting a "green" roof.
The roof will help keep heating/cooling costs down for the building and will hold and filter storm water.
This is the first building of its kind that is city owned, following the likes of Pitt and Carnegie Mellon who both have similar structures and designs.
How cool would it be to look down on the city from Mt. Washington and see trees/shrubs/flowers on top of all of the buildings? Super cool.
Also, there was legislation passed to "require contractors involved in city-subsidized developments to operate air-friendly vehicles and reduce water runoff through the use of green roofs, man-made wetlands and rain gardens."
Thirdly, Pittsburgh is this year's North American Host for World Environment Day. Head over to the site to see the calendar of events - unless you're canoing this weekend.
Take it easy yo.
