古くから日本人に馴染みの深い”苔”
土が無くても育つ生命力の強さに加え、乾燥や熱に強く、Co2削減効果はスギやヒノキの１０倍もの値があるそうです。
屋上緑化への利用や苔庭造りで、節電や温暖化対策に貢献している企業、個人宅が増えているようです。
Using Moss to Save Electricity and Combat Global Warming / Happy MOSS in JAPAN
■http://www.cooljapanpress.com/topics/...
Racomitrium moss has several biological characteristics that allow it to make a positive impact
on the efforts to reduce electricity use and conserve the environment.
In addition, mosses in general, unlike other types of plants,
absorb carbon dioxide without reemitting it through respiration.
Among different types of mosses, racomitrium moss has a particularly high rate
of carbon dioxide absorption,
which amounts to approximately 470 grams per cubic meter.
