Two months ago, France passed a law that requires the rooftops of new commercial buildings to be partially (at least) covered by solar panels or plants. The law, passed back in March, was a compromise with French environmentalists and more conservative* members of society.

The law approved by parliament was more limited in scope than initial calls by French environmental activists to make green roofs that cover the entire surface mandatory on all new buildings.

The Socialist government convinced activists to limit the scope of the law to commercial buildings.

This isn't a first. Places like Australia and Germany already have green roofs as a part of their urban landscape. Toronto has had by-laws since 1998 mandating green rooftops.

and the American right wing gov't not like their counterparts when it comes to people breathing in the future.  we are not number 1 those we put in charge are acting like our correctional officers instead of protecting and serving they are protecting the rich and being served millions for their treasonous activities and ignoring their vow of office, the kick in the head we pay them to do it.  wake up everybody.  if we did put gardens on building tops the air pollution from us and big business would kill them in a weeks time.

they already are killing off the wildlife covered in oil and losing feeding areas because of glacier melting ignoring a threat again republicans got thousands kill do to 911 dismissal now how many more because of climate change denial all just so big business gets the gov't off their backs and quits blocking their freedoms to shortcut and deregulate causing all the above. vote them out and vote in those who will protect us from them. recognize
