Although roof gardens are difficult idea they are a bit difficult to create with slanted roofs. If we had plant pots on the railway lines then people might steal them or people could roll them onto the tracks. I think the reason we have lampposts instead of trees is because England doesn't get that much sunlight in winter or enough to be really strong. Also, if we wrapped life gets around the trees than how would they grow without breaking the lights. Maybe if there were solar panels on top of lamp posts with emergency batteries in case the light was low could work. However, that would cost a lot of money and I font think we should compromise lamp posts for London to be a national park because parks are about celebrating the culture of the area and we shouldn't change things to become one. Also, lampposts are also good for safety and taking them down is a risk that London shouldn't take.

Having a eco-class would be a cool idea, but is there time? We already do 7 subjects a day. Instead, Alleyns could promote the eco-committee a bit more. There could be a 'field day' were we learn about the environment.

Roof gardens are good for the environment in many ways. They can increase temperature, therefore saving electricity. They can also attract birds and give them a place to live. As well as this, many types of insects may live here. It also doesn't take up any more space then an ordinary roof and it can also reduce leaks.🌲🌳🐦

Roof gardens are visually and ethically beneficial as, most commonly, they would not emit green house gases, but also ensure the adaptation of this contributive method as the complete gardens are displayed to bypassers.
On this note, a city with mass amounts of roof gardens would attract tourists and we would see an influx of tourists coming to visit London.
Along with attracting tourists, they will also allow animals to thrive amongst the greenery.
They would also utilise space people do not normally have at their disposal, for instance, a family who do not have enough land for a conventional garden can opt for a more (in most cases) affordable alternative (roof gardens).

Cars produce carbon dioxide and plants absorb carbon dioxide. So green bridges could reduce the amount of Co2 in the world

Instead of having lampposts we should have trees this would reduce greenhouse gasses ,create homes for birds and provide us with more air. This would work as if we wrap trees with lights that are solar powered to again reduce greenhouse gasses

As part of the normal school curriculum, you could create an eco class that teaches children how to be environmentally friendly and gives them knowledge of different types of plants.
This might sound a little far fetched, but after all, we do have a class teaching us about food and healthy eating. We could have a class similar to that.

I think that the plants used in roof top gardens or on buildings shouldn't just be selected at random; they should be the sort of plant that encourages wildlife like insects, butterflies and bees.

The government should make a law that all new buildings have to have a certain percentage  of space dedicated to plants and vegetation eg. All new roofs need to be flat, with some sort of vegetation on them.

Something very simple to do, would be simply planting on space that can't be used for anything else, eg.
- Vertical planting on buildings.
- Having plant pots all the way along railway platforms.
- Having flower beds along the side of the railway track and/or having abandoned railways turned into pleasant walkways through London.
- You could have a flower bed at the bottom of lamp posts and trees.
- To make car parks a greener place, you could have plants to separate the parking spaces instead of white lines.

Roof gardens are both great for the normal family as they a great place to relax, attracting many birds and wildlife, but they are also good for the economy and do not release greenhouse gases. As well as this they filter air pollution and can make it cool on hot, humid days. they don't have much need for watering and can conserve heat in the winter. They make a beautiful, cheap and animal friendly addition to your home.

Instead of making a whole new bridge for greenery what if we turn our existing bridges into green bridges. The tower bridge could have ivy growing through it or cherry blossoms on the paths. Not only would it save money because we aren’t making
more bridges but it would also save us from producing green house gases while making the bridge.

The garden pedestrian bridge would be a good idea as people walking to and from work would have a peaceful and relaxing way to start and end the day .As we know there very few pedestrian bridges so people wouldn't have to walk along side cars and all of the fumes .It would mean people can get away from the busy city and look at all the green and the calming water of the Thames which will improve their day and generally make people more happy. This area of green would attract animals and lots of birds.Local people or community service or retired people could water these plants .

garden roofs are a great way to conserve heat during the winter and it will also make it colder on hot summer days. it also helps the economy because it is a garden on top of your roof and it does not release green house gasses. roff gardens are also very pretty and also attract wildlife such as birds.

I think that having Birdhouses on Lamp posts would be a really good idea as we can make a second really good use out of Lamp posts. It would bring more birds into London and it is a nice add to an area if it does not have a nearby park. It would benefit nature as it would offer more houses for birds and is a really nice thing for a community to have birds living on one of their lamp posts. As well as that it makes the lamp post seem more of a use as it will provide light and also a home!

This would be good because then people can get immersed in nature or simply have fun without it seeming like a chore to find good green spaces. This would have recommended places for certain age groups and for different times of the year. This would also include information on how to become more sustainable and how to care for the environment.

A way of making people think London has more open space than it does is by having parks without a view of any buildings. This is good because it makes people feel like they're in the countryside which promotes their wellbeing without sacrificing a lot of precious space. A way of doing this is having lots of high trees in the park and not having very high buildings around the park.

I think that there should be a L
ondon bridge that is filled with wildlife and nature. This can make someones day when on the way or way back to and from work or anywhere, this will be a beautiful paradise bridge that anyone can enjoy! Community workers will water the plants each week or more often, this will give them a chance to enjoy work and feel that the are doing something for the environment and for people to feel welcomed and relaxed.

Making people more aware of nature would make London a lot greener because it would promote everyone's understanding of plants and nature so people would be more interested in it. A way to do this is having more maps and information about nature in books and around the place so that people will see this information and get ideas of their own about having nature around them.

Since most flats have flat roofs people could start community projects to turn them into gardens. This is would be good because national parks are about boosting community growth. The only problems with started roofs is that people can't climb on them and so they wouldn't be able to water them unless you use plants that don't need extra care in which case you are fine. People could also have long plant pots hanging from the roof which they can pull down to look after and hang back up when they have finished using it. If we had more wind turbines then that would also help London become more sustainable and economic. This would also reduce Co2, i think that it is also important to get the message out about saving what we have instead of making what we don't. We don't have robots and are doing fine!

Il Bosco Verticale is a vertical forest. It was created by Stefano Boeri in October 2014. It is in Milan and is already fully sold out and are being in use. This is a very good example of people realising that we need more green in our cities, and even if we don't have much area of land to work on, we can make the most of it by biulding higher just like Boeri. I think that we should make more of these vertical forest as they benifit in very many ways.

The Mayor wants to make London the first National Park City with a target of making 50% of the city green by 2050. To do this, we want to plant more trees, restore our rivers, create natural play-spaces for children and green routes to encourage walking and cycling. London is one of the most polluted cities in the UK, and we cannot necessarily stop this completely, but we can reduce it by either walking or cycling, or maybe even taking public transport. Another way to reduce pollution, is to create more CO2 by making almost every space possible green. We can even add this to our own homes, by having plants around the house, and a few to green up your own room.

Green roofs reduce up to 37% of sulfur dioxide and we can make this even better by creating more and more. Even if you have a slanted roof, you will probably have a friend or neighbor who has a flat roof and will be able to convince them to get a roof garden. They also act as a nice relaxation places for friends and family. In one roof garden there are on average 172 different species of wildlife which is a lot in itself, but if you imagine that almost everyone had a roof garden, think about how many species that would be. Our first step to making London greener is to green up our roofs.I have a roof garden myself, but do any of you?

Roof top gardens let people who work in the business of urban London have something to come home to which is roof top gardens. They relax people and give new available habitats to animals like birds. They are quite beneficial for the environment and future London as we want it to be.

Not only do roof gardens benefit the wildlife and the environment but they also aid the air quality and improve the drainage system. Roof gardens are perfect for attracting birds and others species creating a essential habitat! Roof gardens can also provide a tranquil space for the people that use it after a busy day at work/school.

roof gardens can give regular axcess to green spaces.Roof gardens can reduce carbon footprints and they absorb water. It will make a more diverse skyline because every garden is different. Birds could also nest in your garden.

If we had trees with lights than the branches might cover the lights and you would need lots of wiring which you couldn't put in a tree. If you just had a hanging light than it would not be bright enough and someone would probably steal it. I think that because national parks are about boosting the community their should be a yearly event when people have to decorate lamp posts. This would bring tourism because there could maps to find the lamp posts and people might visit places that they have never seen before.

I think that we should have more green roofs. This would not only benefit the wildlife, but it can have the effect of making a city look greener. This would work especially well if you lived in a block of flats, as the roofs are flat. This would also work if your house had a slanted roof, as you could have flowers and plants planted in between the tiles, or have a climber plant or ivy running down the roof. If we all had green roofs then London could become a lot greener and this would largely benefit the wildlife and people
