Sure, the piece I'll mention is little more than a glorified press release, but it's still interesting to know that there's a local company specializing in green roofs -- something that we don't hear too much about in Charleston.

At any rate, The Navy Yard Blog has a short piece on Green Roof Outfitters; read it here.
