Rooftop Grass
My firm would professionally install and upkeep foliage on corporate or residential rooftops. This would lower heating and cooling costs, while improving the environment one roof at a time.
Q1: How tacky would a grass-topped roof look??
Idea Description
Imagine a city like L.A. All those rooftops, absorbing heat from the sun all day long. Now imagine that the roofs are covered by a small layer of growing medium, topped with LIVE, GROWING, grass. While the grass absorbs sunlight, it simultaneously replenishes the environment. This will save on cooling costs, but perhaps more importantly it will leave customers with the satisfaction of doing something in the effort toward an eco-friendly world.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Invest in research regarding grass types that are water-efficient, as well as research into an effective and efficient growing medium.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
Hi!, I've been wanting to propose a grass rooftop idea to my high school. We are a large public high school. I was wondering if you could give me a really rough estimate of how much something like this might cost to install. Thank you!!
I know that this idea works because I knew a guy 25 years ago that had his house with grass on it in Oregon We always asked him, "How do you get a mower up there"? He never answered us, so I presume you don't mow it. So what if it's odd, if you can save a bunch of bucks!!
