Rosie,

Hopefully you have an alderman who might take the brilliant example of 
Chicago's Mayor Daley's roof gardens seriously (there's one on the roof of City 
Hall!) 

Here are some quick links: 

The City of Chicago's guide to rooftop gardening with downloadable PDF: <A

Rooftop Gardens</A>

Another Chicago link from Chicago, touting rooftop gardens as a way of 
reducing air polution:  <A

The Canadian City Farmer link on rooftop gardens: <A

 Hello gardeners,

 I'm interested in providing some information about green roofs to my local 
city alder in Madison, WI.  I've done a bit of web research on them and 
understand that several cities have laws requiring roofs of a certain size to be 
paritally green.  Since Madison is centered on a narrow isthmus between two lakes, 
green roofs could potentially help our runoff problem.  Does anyone know 
where I could find some information on legislating green roofs?  I would be 
extremely grateful for any help.  Please let me know if you can.

 Thanks in advance,
 Rosie
