Environmental benefits of green roofs in an urban setting include:
-reduces stormwater runoff that affects water for drinking and swimming, as well as habitat in local rivers and lakes
-reduces energy consumption
-reduces the urban heat island effect by lowering the City's temperature and therefore reduces cooling costs
-beautifies the City
-creates more natural green spaces in urban areas
-provides more habitat area for wildlife including migratory birds
