Which one is the most important: air, water, land, energy, climate change, ecosystem? |

About green living, I have a question for my peers:
How Do You Intend Green Living? Do you plan to plan trees or grass on top of your building? What is your idea on that? Personally, I believe in those very polluted or demographically populated cities it is important that the roofs or the tops of the buildings have plants, grass, or even trees. I always somehow look forward to these ideas. What is your opinion on that?

Dear Karma,
Thank you for your comment and insight. What you stated is absolutely true. At first, I did not even think of solar panel roofs mainly because it is costly to implement them in every household, especially, the issue of solar panel is with the developing countries where the priority is given to economic development and political integration.
But, of course there is a solution in this case too. What if we make the companies (domestic or foreign), the government and its institutions focus on the solar panel whereas individual households concentrate on greening.
This alternative solution originates from the fact that I have witnessed how public institutions such as government, ministries, central banks, and international organizations, not to forget universities worldwide tend to be less caring when it comes to the energy, water, and waste. Thus, there developing a policy that would make the "big fish" tackle the problems first would also be an example that the individual households could follow wither with the green living solutions or solar panels at a later stage when affordable.
What do you think?

@Anesa I think that you have a valid example here. The vegetation is surely the best solution for pollution. But how far will the people find it sensible is another situation here.
I think that having solar panel roofs can be another initiative. Some people believe in aesthetics, and focus heavily on making homes beautiful. Making them believe that making a house out of plants can be challenging. And in it, can we find an alternative solutions like solar panels, kinetic lawns, solar windows, a regulation to plant at least three tress in their surrounding, among others.
If people start with your ideas, then it is definitely a green world. It they don't, then alternative solutions have to be sought. Kudos for bringing in such a thought provoking topic.
Best
