Surely the minimal carbon sequestration performed by the plants isn't enough to offset increased carbon output by the bus due to weight. In addition, that seems like a really harsh environment for plants (constantly facing 20-30mph winds) I don’t see this as a real solution to anything.

While they do have a place in environmental building design, they are heavy, potentially leak water/rust/decay. Not exactly ideal for fuel economy on a vehicle or winter driving.......Let's be careful to not reduce the use of green roofs to inappropriate tokenism. Totally agree.

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 23:39:12 +0000 http://www.hphpcentral.com/?post_type=article&p=777#comment-2100 How much extra fuel does the bus use because of the considerable extra weight and wind resistance? How do a few plant off-set the higher carbon footprint? I love the bus, it looks pretty, but it's not exactly a green sollution...

Can't find the details, though! There was a train carriage in Chicago that was converted into a flatbed garden in the last couple of years, as an art installation. Can’t find the details, though!

Thank goodness we have people that think out of the square and can come up with these ideas, just imagine if it were extended to all the trains as well... This is fantastic!
