Project: Rooftop Initiative
Project Sponsor: Demeter Rivera-Vega
Project Lead: Noah Benjamin
Purpose:
In order to combat humanity’s continuously rising carbon footprint, this project will lobby for a bill to require all rooftop spaces to be occupied by foliage.
Scope:
Determine scale - does this only apply to rooftops of a certain size?
Determine what types of foliage would be acceptable.
Investigate building codes - do current codes require rooftops to support a load this heavy?
A typical skyscraper’s rooftop
Use of balcony space will be incentivized
