Elevated Landscape Technologies (ELT) Easy Green, recently featured at the Los Angeles Green West conference, “is a line of products built around one main idea: sustainable living.” This company, responding to the need to bring nature back into our urban lives, offers Green Roofs and Living Wall systems. The benefits of such living systems extend from improved insulation and air quality to biodiversity and conservation—and they look amazing.
You can install the wall units yourself, and they are surprisingly affordable. Some ELT customers actually grow herbs and vegetables on their living room walls…so for those looking to harvest their living rooms, I guess this serves as your solution. Beyond personal application, many cities are adopting green roof systems. According to the ELT website, “More than 1 in 10 flat roofs in Germany are green. Norway, Sweden, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom are also greening their cities by using green roof technologies.”
While some of their products claim to be “drought resistant,” I’m not sure if the roof units could actually survive Phoenix heat and sunlight. Additionally, the indoor wall units require quite a bit of water, two liters per panel, per watering. Yet, ELT’s living walls and roofs are works of natural art in and of themselves, which merits at least a look at the website photogallery.
