Description

Jessica Green is a landscape architect who works for Macdonald Environmental Planning. Her firm specializes in eco-roofs and the importance of reusing the water that these eco-roofs help recycle. She stresses the importance of the benefit of eco-roofs, especially if they can be used with a cistern to capture runoff water for later use. That water can be stored in a variety of ways and put to many uses; some of the more popular uses are the disposal of human waste and watering plants and gardens.
