Max Meighen on opportunities for developing a circular economy when green roofs are paired with other on-site commercial activities

This proceeding is a great opportunity for companies, policy advocates, educators, to join together and grow a dynamic green infrastructure ecosystem so we can build sustainable and resilient spaces. As we begin to recover from the COVID-10 pandemic, there is an unprecedented opportunity to shift investments into infrastructure that will benefit our communities, the economy, the job market, the climate, and ourselves. This shift in investment is occurring worldwide, and it’s time for us to take the leap into this space.
