Overview
Randal's island is a garden where rangers and interns research about e green roofs and effects in urban places; this location has one of the most sophisticated green-roofs I've ever visited, and the people are awesome too. This site uses hybrid methods of clean energy making, like solar panels with plants that absorb the heat and the CO2 nearby. The also invest in new "products", using NY park's money, that aim towards help either reduce temperature by using particular types of plants or organic-compost making machines or invention of this type.
