This presentation is based on Green Energy and the affect of economy on it. The use of renewable energy is on the rise around the world. The costs of this renewable energy is relatively costly. This means in the long run over time the costs will be paid for and consumers will see a lower energy bill. There has been great achievements in smaller countries with the introduction of green energy. They have seen how useful this is and the way it provides electricity with no problems. Many countries

In this article‚ Buffam discusses the potential risks that green roof runoff can have on downstream ecosystems. Though beneficial in some areas‚ storm water runoff from these roofs have been found to seep harmful chemicals that can contaminate water quality. Sources of phosphorous‚ carbon‚ copper and iron have all been identified as a part of the hazardous runoff. It has been anticipated that these green roof ecosystems have fluctuating runoff concentrations depending on plant production‚ microscopic
