Hip Eco Roofs Sprouting in PDX

This isn’t exactly breaking news…or news at all for that matter. But in case you live in Portland, or are visiting it, you may want to check out a really cool eco-roof in on the fifth floor of the Multnomah County building on 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Eco roofs or green roofs are simply roofs with plants and shrubs covering them. It makes a nice addition for a roof and does help insulate the building it covers.

Eco roofs are sort of a new popular thing for trendy urban cities like Portland and they are beginning to sprout up in random places. The cool thing about the eco roof on top of the Multnumah County building is the view. The building is situated right on the east bank of the river and has a perfect view of the entire city. If you are an eco-tourist, this a spot to check out.
