6、Each time a city building goes up, the grass in that spot and trees that once reached up to the sky are replaced by a swath of asphalt (沥青) roof.

Add to that the building of roads, parking lots, and yet more buildings, and the total lost green space can have a very real effect on a city's air temperature, air quality, and energy costs. On a summer day in most American cities, an asphalt roof can feel like the inside of an oven. But what if we could replace the hot roof of each skyscraper or building in a city with grass or a garden? 

Whether it holds vegetable gardens, wildflowers, or meadow grasses, a green roof can lower the temperature above a building by 60 degrees, which can reduce the building's energy costs and, if used more widely, could decrease a city's total energy costs, reduce power-plant emissions (散发), and improve air quality and public health. 

But that's not all -- green roofs are a great way to deal with water management in urban areas with mixed sewerage(排污) systems because they soak up extra precipitation(沉淀物). They are also a good way to provide shelters for urban wildlife, and actually extend the life span of the roof itself. And green roofs do something else: They can beautify the city -- whether you're on the 3rd floor or the 30th. So that will be a great achievement.

The environmental nonprofit group Earth Pledge is starting a Green Roofs Initiative. To learn more about how to create a green roof -- and the benefits(好处) it will provide -- visit its website at EarthPledge.com.
