The Editor, Re: "Richmond Walmart hits buffer, again," News, Sept. 18.
Let's talk benefits to Richmond. Current proposal: nothing to emphasize our "nature."
Solution: completely cover the roof with living grass, to reduce carbon footprint as well as reduce the heat associated with nongreen space construction, plus make for cleaner air overall.
Richmond City Hall has the power to demand this be in the final proposal. Please do so. This will also help in your letsTALKrichmond.ca plans. In fact, let's require all buildings with a roof greater than a certain size to do this! This would help offset the lost green when you paved the Railway corridor. Come on, council, do it right for a change!
