Introduction Course in Green Infrastructure

Many projects are already using their compost for food growing purposes, but what about non-food uses for compost? There are so many environmental benefits: Increasing local biodiversity, climate change amelioration/adaptation, flood and pollution alleviation are some of the benefits that green roofs, living walls, landscaping for wildlife, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) and pocket parks and gardens can bring. Softening the harshess of the built environment with green growing elements that absorb CO2, soak up rainfall and trap particulates is just plain good for humans too – we evolved in a natural environment and thrive better when we retain contact with the natural world. This is what we term Green Infrastructure.
