City of green roofs could remove tonnes of CO2: [Would this help prevent kidney stones?]

Green roofs — using grass or other plants instead of shingles — have long been known to cut a building’s heating and cooling costs and reduce polluted stormwater runoff, but they could also provide an eco-friendly way of sequestering substantial amounts of carbon, according to a new study.

For example, covering all the rooftops in the Detroit metropolitan area with greenery would help store 55,252 tonnes of carbon dioxide [at the Chicago Climate Exchange, that's over $10,000 in value!!] within the plants and underlying soil. That’s the equivalent of taking some 10,000 mid-sized SUVs or trucks off the roads for an entire year.
