Virou lei na França: telhado verde e painel solar são obrigatórios em prédios comerciais
Soluções sustentáveis para as cidades são mais do que nunca necessárias.
A concentração de pessoas, veículos, empresas, comércios e indústrias tornam as nossas cidades mais poluídas, e isso acarreta em menor qualidade de vida para todos nós.
Podemos contar nos dedos quais centros urbanos que ainda possuem ar puro para se respirar.
Quais cidades não passam pelo processo de corte de árvores? Quantas obras chamadas de “revitalização” estão destruindo a fauna e a flora local para dar lugar a empreendimentos?
Portanto, é para ficarmos felizes com uma noticia destas: Paris, a capital da França, adotou uma medida que pode ser um pequeno grão na mudança que precisamos.
Agora é Lei na cidade que os prédios comerciais tenham telhados verdes ou placas solares.

One of the true wonders of the world are snowflakes, tiny designs made of ice that are so individually unique, so detailed, and so spectacular it’s hard to comprehend that they happen naturally and aren’t pulled from the depths of our own imaginations.
Photographer Alexey Kljatov has a special talent for capturing the brief life of these beautiful ice creations. He features many of his snowflake photos on Flickr. Kljatov says, “I capture snowflakes at open balcony of my house, mostly on glass surface, lighted by LED flashlight from opposite side of glass, and sometimes in natural light, using dark woolen fabrics as background.”
