Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 seems to be spreadin world wide!! TOKYO TURNS TO ROOFTOP GARDENS TO BEAT THE HEAT At a run-down three-story office block in downtown Tokyo, government clerks and secretaries cool off among azaleas, hydrangeas, and even blueberry bushes during coffee breaks, seemingly far away from the sweltering urban heat. The garden is not a perk for bureaucrats or reckless use of taxes in a city with some of the world's priciest real estate. It's on the roof and, what's more, it's saving money.
