In 2004, the City commissioned a team from Ryerson University to prepare a study on the potential environmental benefits of widespread implementation of green roofs to the City of Toronto, given the local environment and climate. The Study, titled The Environmental Benefits and Costs of Green Roof Technology, was undertaken with a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Green Municipal Funds, and in partnership with Earth and Environmental Technologies, one of five Ontario Centres for Excellence, supported by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. This Study indicated that widespread implementation of green roofs in Toronto would provide significant economic benefits to the City, particularly in the areas of stormwater management and reducing the urban heat island (and the energy use associated therewith). check out this report on green roofs{ benefits made by the city of toronto.

If we had a mesh networking messaging system installed on our cars we could have notified people before they get into the jam. And even more a local truck driver told use about a backroad to save time, we could have saved tons of people hours of waiting time. In no more than 5 years, any car that lacks of an OS will be obsolete I went on a weekend road trip and there was two HUGE traffic jams in the highway.

It can be also emulated with a hacked <a href='www.chumby.com/' rel="nofollow">chumby</a> computer.

(a bus, or subway train ?) also, the qcode needs to be printed ina double a4 paper size. mhhhh true, we could come up with a treasure hunt mod and stick the qcodes in objects, both static and moving..
