Environmentally-friendly means of transport

We all know that taking public transport is better for the environment than driving a
car, but in Madrid, Spain the buses are even more eco-friendly!
Designer Marc Granen came up with the idea for making the city's buses green –
literally! He designed a garden to go on top of each bus, and it covers the whole roof. The
plants on the roof don't grow in soil. They grow on a special foam, which is very light and
doesn't hold water, even when it rains.In summer, the garden uses water from the air-
conditioning units inside the bus. The gardens don't just look pretty: they clean the city air and
reduce pollution. They also reduce the heat inside the bus by up to 4°C!
Granen hopes that, in the future, there will be even more green spaces in cities. Not
just on the roofs of public transport, but the walls of buildings and even inside!
