About This Lesson
Environmentalists have long touted the benefits of green roofs, which they say include minimizing storm water runoff, cooling the environment, and helping to absorb CO2. And where better to study green roofs than the most well known asphalt jungle in the United States – New York City? Researchers at Columbia University have launched a comprehensive scientific analysis of green roofs, putting those eco claims to the test. See how they’re doing it in this episode of Innovation Nation with Miles O’Brien.
