Iceland and Norway are the ones that pioneered the movement centuries ago, the trend being adopted by Germany in the 1960s. When you want to reduce heat, plant some vegetables or flowers or simply give a helping hand to the endangered environment, green is the way to go. But there are some things you wouldn’t expect to see on a green roof. And these are some of them!
