no offence but….. lets just all run through dark hallways, in long flowing clothes. let’s all just have dinner at candle light, write love letters and seal them with wax, give lovers a piece of our hair, kiss hands in greeting, pet cats and be gay

Reworked this piece from last year because I’m still fond of it 😔 Juanita belongs to @gentle-starlight

Fairlytale Scandinavian Green Roofs

Scandinavians are serious about their green roofs. They’ve had them for a while now and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere. They even have a competition every year to determine the best green roof project in Scandinavia by the Scandinavian Green Roof Association! But there is a reason why Scandinavians like these green roofs so much… They are not only a beautiful feature for a house, but they also offer numerous social, environmental and financial benefits. They absorb rainwater, reduce winter heating costs, reduce summer air-conditioning costs, provide insulation, and are long lasting - just to name a few.
