Green Wish 2.0

My green wish is that our high school can use barrels to collect rain water. Therefore the rain water we collect can be used to water our high schools greenhouse. Even better we could put a green roof on our high school and use the rain water we collect to irrigate the green roof. As a result of putting a green roof on our high school we would consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen which would a great impact on our community.
