PCEI Hosted a Living Roof Workshop on October 7th, 2006.
The Living Roof Workshop advertised: Would you like to better
regulate the temperature of your home? Are you interested in reducing
storm water runoff? How about adding to the beauty of your
neighborhood? Wouldn't you like to reduce pollutants and CO2 in the
atmosphere? Consider attending the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental
Institute Living Roof Workshop! The cost is only $33, and you will
learn the importance and basics of greenroofing! There will be
presentations on the benefits of living roofs, plant choice and design,
and the structural components of building a green roof. You will also
have the unique opportunity to plant a Living Roof at the PCEI Rodeo
campus. |
