OUT OF THE ASHES CAME THE GREEN ROOF INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK: "Green roofs' intersectionality cuts through silos, which could help foster a united movement around water protection, the climate emergency, and the biodiversity crisis," stated Dr. Christine Thuring, GRIN Executive Director and former faculty member with the Centre for Architectural Ecology at the BC Institute of Technology - Green Infrastructure "Part of the vision for GRIN is to use green roofs to break down silos. If we truly acknowledged the climate emergency, biodiversity crisis and loneliness epidemic, there would be green roofs everywhere. We have the tools. We just need political will, and critical mass," stated Christine Thuring. The "story behind the story" is that Christine Thuring and her GRIN colleagues are committed to putting green roofs back on municipal radar screens. They have a vision, they have a plan, and they are doing outreach. It takes passion, hard work, and perseverance to have mission impact. https://waterbucket.ca/gi/2026/04/07/out-of-the-ashes-came-the-green-roof-infrastructure-network/
