Step 1: Imagination / Green Roofs

With this project we would like to make the population, especially large companies, aware of the need to change the climate and that big cities make a large part of it. One way to change this is to have green roofs. Since there is not much room to plant trees in cities anyway, this can be done on large roofs.

We imagine that our project will motivate some to implement it. Furthermore, the project should fulfill our imagination to have a positive influence on the climatic conditions. With this procedure the quality of living should be increased and the rainwater can also be evaporated better.

We are aware of the fact that this implementation could be expensive and that the investment costs are higher than for a conventional roof. Furthermore, such roofs need to be maintained. But if you take a closer look, there are many more advantages. A green roof serves as a habitat for plants and animals!

To get more information about this topic, we might do an interview or create surveys.

Who knows, maybe in 20 years big cities all over the world will already change to green cities...

By which methods / tools should this effect be achieved?

With which strategy should this effect be achieved?

We would like to pass on the knowledge we gain through interviews and research to the population, especially to companies. It should encourage them to More...
