1Jameskabout 6 years agoGreen roofs for all new constructions
Any new construction with a flat area over a certain size should be mandated to be a green space, bus shelters, car ports, extensions, homes etc. A green space like this has many benefits, such as: 1. Absorbing rain water, which can help lower the risk of flooding. 2. Helping flora and fauna, these small grassy areas can provide enough space to grow native flowers which can help bees and insect truce as well as the birds that feed on those. 3. Lowering temp. A green roof actually helps insulate a building which lowers the temp in seer and raises it in winter, reducing the need for air conditioners or heating.

Advice from an eco-architect and some tree experts such as the guys in this quote from a post on Councilor Brendon Zhu's facebook page from an Elizabeth Jones. "You would be surprised the knowledge some of the council workers have. There use to be a set of twins at Lane Cove council depot that have AMAZING knowledge and because of them the region became quite beautiful & increased in value ++. (They retired about 15 years ago). These two British men knew what trees would go were and had any trees that were becoming a problem removed. They did PLANT GUM TREES and were careful about were and what went in. ❤️ Intelligent Knowledge is the Key. They literally planned were they would put what together, one brother was in charge of that and the other chopped down trees or limbs that were a problem. When I told them my address they told me the name of the type of (relatively short) native tree was outside my home, and how much they loved that particular tree. It had amazing blossoms for about 2 weeks per year that covered the tree. ❤️ Their knowledge increased Property values in the area.
