My daughter, who is 9, suggested a green roof for her school, and put together a proposal for it as well. It took her quite a lot of work to find the information that you just presented here -- all in one clear and concise place! The upfront cost is, of course, what will keep her school from replacing their 50 year old roof with a green solution. And grants and financial assistance is only offered to urban locations and schools. She's been sold on the idea, and she is only in 4th grade. A wonderful location like yours, with tours, and nice web pages like this will certainly convince others as well! Nice work! I hope to bring her there for a tour (maybe when visiting my alma mater 70 miles up the Delaware River). Nice job presenting a great topic!
