Mexico plants gardens on rooftops to fight global warming

Mexico City is one of the most polluted cities in the world, but now they’re taking steps to start cleaning up. They are going to start planting grass and gardens on top of public buildings to help absorb carbon dioxide. They’re first round of rooftop gardens will be planted over 100,000 square feet around the city.

They are going to replace gas tanks, clothe lines and heat-reflecting asphalt with these gardens to combat global warming. The government is even offering tax breaks to businesses or individuals who plant gardens on top of their office buildings and / or apartments. Mayor Ebrard pledged over $5 billion over five years to help reduce greenhouse gases in Mexico City.

Mexico City is home to over 20 million people, and 4 million cars. Their plan will cut carbon emissions by 4.4 million tonnes per year. Mayor Ebrard also encouraged citizens to use bicycles, and even declared “car-free” roads on weekends.
