		<description><![CDATA[No one can argue that the green roof industry is still in an "experimental" phase. Speaker after speaker proved this to be true in the three days of excursions and presentations in and around Hamburg two weeks ago.

While there was far too much information exchanged to repeat in detail, I thought I would mention just a couple of general topics of discussion that came out of this excellent conference.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=emuarchitects.com&#038;blog=6406200&#038;post=2963&#038;subd=emuarchitects&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
