8.Rooftops covered with plants-called"green roofs"-could help fight global warming,scientists now suggest.
Green roofs are growing more popular in cities,with the number of green roofs increasing in the United States.In Germany,widely considered the leader in green roofing,some 12 percent of all flat roofs are green,with the German green roof industry growing 10 to 15 percent annually.
These roofs can reduce heating and air conditioning costs,with a roughly 10 percent reduction in natural gas usage and a 2 percent drop in electricity use for a typical building.Moreover,green roofs last two to three times longer than standard roofs.They also store storm water,which could otherwise exacerbate (加剧)flooding."They can also bring in birds and butterflies,help improve biodiversity(多样性),"Rowe said.In addition to taking in pollution and noise,the plants in green roofs naturally absorb carbon dioxide,the leading greenhouse gas behind global warming.However,nobody had measured the potential effect of green roofs on carbon dioxide levels until now.
Scientists at Michigan State University found that replacing traditional roofing materials with green roofs in an urban area the size of Detroit,with a population of about one million,would take in more than 55,000 tons of carbon.That is roughly similar to getting rid of a year's worth of carbon dioxide sent out by 10,000 mid-sized SUVs and trucks.
The challenges green roofs now face in the United States are something about policy and costs."The government should not necessarily mandate(强制执行) them,but it can provide support for them,just as they do in Germany and elsewhere,"Rowe told LiveScience."And green roofs are more expensive,but only initially.Over time,they're cheaper once you consider their benefits energy-wise.It takes about 11 to 14 years to break even(不赢不亏)."
