Artist and designer Marco Castro Cosio was researching for a project when the City of New York gave him access to his first real-life green roof. Subscribe to Mercedes-Benz on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MercedesBenzTV
If you can put a garden on a bus, where else can you put plants? The lightweight green roofs made Marco think about the question if “we can create cities that are resilient”. Now he works on a project that aims to put lightweight green roofs on city busses.
This project unlocks a lot of possibilities because using the roofs of busses would mean that 1,000,000 square feet of green space would be added to the city. That has a direct effect on the quality of life, as plants not only provide a habitat for pollinators and other animals that are beneficial for our environment, they also cool down cities. Something every New Yorker benefits from in the summer. #switchtoEQ

Seems like a waste of energy. Plants and especially earth are heavy. This added weight would increase energy consumption. It seems to me that stationary greenroofes on for example buildings are more feasible.

I'm no scientist man but how you gonna wash it? What if it rains? If you remove the roof you gotta put the plants somewhere else, then why don't we do it the first place?
good works!!!
