all levels of education about various subjects including science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), biodiversity, ecology, urban agriculture, stormwater management, sustainability, art, technology, and more. (10) Planning, designing, installing, and maintaining green roofs can generate employment opportunities for properly trained personnel, while specialized green roofs can also provide employment opportunities for urban agriculture operations. (11) The Environmental Protection Agency, in collaboration with Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, acknowledges landscape architects as leaders in planning and designing green roofs. (12) Green roofs can help stabilize neighborhoods by providing community-wide benefits, including those that address public health, food security, urban development, and economic growth. (13) By improving air and water quality and mitigating excess heat, among other benefits, green roofs can improve public health and lessen healthcare system stressors. (14) Green roofs can help reduce the impacts of climate change, including extreme heat and poor air quality, by sequestering harmful carbon and other pollutants in the atmosphere. (15) Green roofs can reduce the urban heat island effect and city-wide ambient temperatures by up to 5°F because green roof temperatures can be 30 to 40°F lower than those of conventional roofs. (16) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration determined indoor summer building temperatures were cooler for buildings with green roofs. (17) As living systems, green roofs retain rainwater in the soil, plants, and drainage layer and therefore can reduce stormwater runoff rates by up to 65 percent and delay the time at which runoff occurs, resulting in decreased stress on sewer systems and streams at peak flow periods and decreased pollution in United States waterways. (18) Green roofs can enhance environmental justice by addressing the disproportionate impacts of excess heat and adding much-needed green space to the built environment in underserved communities.
