You're Barking Up The Right Tree!

Hello friends, strangers, and/or any victims of finals. Do you own a dog? If you do, you may have a dog house too. Even if you don't have a dog, you'll like this:


Green roofs: helping make the world a better place for man & man's best friend. 



As you can see, this dog house has a green roof. This ingenious structure was designed and created by Alejandro Pijuan (company: JohnsonFain). The "LiveRoof" green roof modules were provided by FloraSourceLtd

One of the major advantages of implementing a green roof is that it regulates the temperature of the building, or in this case, dog house, below. Sparky will no longer suffer from heat exhaustion. Or, being that it is winter, he wont be so cold in his humble doggy abode. Aha, but wait, there's more...the green roof will also serve as a mini habitat for wildlife and can even be a mini garden for all the gardening-lovers out there. Mr. Alejandro Pijuan, we applaud you.
