Coatesville Dems: Green roofs - just doing if for the color is enough

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Green roofs - just doing if for the color is enough

Green plants and flowers make people feel good, but there is a lot more:

Green roofs on buildings keep stormwater out of streets. Green roofs cool cities and homes on hot days.

It’s an ancient idea to save water and bring people in cities close to a natural way of life.

It’s being revived mostly to save energy and prevent flooding. But it also makes us feel better.

"Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark was named Europe’s greenest capital in 2014. It’s partly due to the ubiquitous bike paths and the ambitious renewable energy goals, but as Living on Earth’s Helen Palmer reports, also due to the many green roofs the city’s installing to soak up excess rain and cool the capital."
