Good Stuff 9: Global Cooling – Rooftop Planting



Most of the world realizes the ‘Global Warming’, so how to make our Earth healthier again?

I took this photo with my handphone when I was my way to do some shopping with my family, amazingly I saw some trees growing out from the rooftop (these are papaya trees). That relates me to a TV documentary show from Japan, saying Japan is recommending buildings’ rooftop be planted with at least 30% area of plants. The documentary showed some statistics on the rooftop plantings are cooling the buildings down without air-conditioning and even the surroundings. The temperature showed a decrease of 2°C - 3°C.

Wow! People in my hometown can figured out these and are doing some ‘Global Cooling’, I am proud of my hometown. Further, I think these are every human beings’ duty to do something good to our Earth right now.
