Green Building How is growing plants on a roof considered "green"?

Question by furthermore_82: How is growing plants on a roof considered “green”?
At my local university, they just finished constructing the campus’ first “green” building. It has all the common items with solar panels for heating, rainwater collection bin, etc. However, the building features plants growing on the roof. How is this considered “green”? What purpose does that serve?

Answer by roadhazzards
Well all plant life helps absorb CO2 and produce O2 so in effect it does help in a small way. It’s like planting trees, every little bit helps.
