How can you live a more sustainable life? - BBC World Service

Landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom has been making her home city of Bangkok - and others - more resilient to climate change.

She says little changes can mean we live greener, more sustainable lives.

Reclaim the roof: One of the most wasted spaces all over the world is roof space. But what if we use that space to grow food?

“Imagine if entire cities created rooftop farms, we could expand the space to grow food like fruits and vegetables locally and efficiently,” she says.

Choose native plants and messy gardens: Many of us love finding new exotic plants for our outdoor spaces, but that is really bad for the environment.

“It’s much better for bees and other insects if we stick to plants that naturally grow where we live, and we let our gardens go a bit wild!”

I'd like to know till what extent roof top farming is possible, generally in our native place we do tress work on top of terrace (roof flat) so as I said I how we can utilize that idea here, though that sounds a promising.
