Say! I do like Green Walls and Ham. I do! I like Sam-I-Am!

Post #32 of the 2007 Green Blogathon

Green walls rule!

A green wall is exactly what it sounds like- a side of a building covered in flora. Green walls, much like green roofs, bring a lot of advantages to the table- increased insulation in the winter and improved cooling in the summer; no need to be repainted; and they actually clean the air around the building.

I found a great collection of green wall photos at TheGrowSpot by French botanist Patrick Blanc. Enjoy!

    Does anyone know of the female artist who has recently had huge glass panels with energy symbols etched on them situated at different locations inside the eco-building?
