Default Grass Roof?

Last week while looking at a few photos I took I noticed what I thought was mold from all the rain we've been having on a freezer warehouse. After further investigation I found out that the roof was covered in sod!
Not only that but the freezer warehouse on the other side of the harbor has had the same treatment. I guess the insulation properties are the reason.

Talk about a "green building"! I bet supermarkets will go that route to conserve energy! That it further they could grow their own produce!

These are becoming popular in cities... I saw a show on the Discovery Channel about it a while back. In some countries they showed goats up on the roofs grazing... hysterical!!!

Here's a link to the wiki article about the growing trend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_roof
