Postal Service Unveils Biggest Green Roof
Postal Service Unveils Biggest Green Roof in NYC (Fast Company Magazine)
Perhaps in an attempt to overshadow PNC Bank's announcement last week that it is building the largest Green Living Wall in the U.S., the U.S. Postal Service announced today that it has completed the biggest green roof in NYC. The 2.5 acre, seven story high green roof--one of the largest in the country--sits atop the Morgan mail processing facility in midtown Manhattan. 90% of the newborn roof is growing on shredded mail from the dead letter office.
