Looking for a change of seasons, an awesome greenroof and greenwall trip of a lifetime, AND want 50% off registration? If you're considering the fantastic 2014 World Green Infrastructure Congress in Sydney trip-of-a-lifetime but still weighing the costs, now is certainly the time! Read my Greenroofs.com Negotiates 50% Discount for WGIC 2014 in Sydney! to take advantage of this deal and make your Australian dream trip real. Join us Down Under this October!


A bit closer to home, especially for those of us in the southeast U.S. (including us), is the Atlanta Green Roof Symposium � Protecting Georgia�s Watersheds, held downtown at Southface Energy Institute on September 15. If you work in the metro Atlanta area or in the southeast in general, you shouldn�t miss this one-day opportunity to see what�s going on here in the ATL and how you can be a part! And, don�t miss the chance to save some $$$ by registering before the
Early Bird Registration deadline of September 2. As a Media Partner, you know we�ll be there. Read all about it here.
 

Speaking of Sydney, don�t miss "Greening Sydney: Australia�s first green roof and walls policy" over at Architecture & Design. And great for all of us in the biz, �Innovation Will Drive Costs of Green Roofs and Walls (down) by 28% in 2017� is Lux Research�s most recent study � see Most Popular Articles below.



Calendar Project of the Month

Grand Rapids Downtown Market Living Walls

August: Grand Rapids Downtown Market Living Walls in Grand Rapids, MI. by LiveWall and more...

The founders of the Downtown Market had a vision for a green facility which reflected their commitment to local, sustainable products. As the first LEED-intended green market in the nation, the design team carefully chose products which met the green building standards. The market's 4.25 inch deep LiveRoof� hybrid green roof system is publicly accessible, providing a relaxing space for visitors and staff. A LiveWall� system with hardy perennials enhances sustainability with 100% plant survival. Both systems were produced using materials almost entirely sourced within 200 miles of the project.
