The roof absorbs 98 percent of rainwater, so it doesn’t need irrigation.

The enviroment is the most important thing in the world, well next to human survival that is. Tearing away at the ozone layer is not going to help us in the long- run. We need to save our enviroment while we can because there is no way to rebuild it so save what we have left now. I am a huge enviromentalist because I want my kids(when I can have kids that is, I am only 14) to have the cleanest air and animals they can have. We need to stand up now and SAVE THE ENVIROMENT. Last thought: I live in New England and I know we have bouncy temperatures(60 one day to 90 the next) but a week ago it was 60-70 and now it is 100. Thats what the ozone layer was for.
