Your compost pile should have an equal amount of browns to greens. You should also alternate layers of organic materials of different-sized particles. The brown materials provide carbon for your compost, the green materials provide nitrogen, and the water provides moisture to help break down the organic matter.
Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure includes a range of soil-water-plant systems that intercept stormwater, infiltrate a portion of it into the ground, evaporate a portion of it into the air, and in some cases release a portion of it slowly back into the sewer system.

SuDS help to reduce pollution of watercourses and localised flooding as well as providing amenity and biodiversity benefits. Green roofs are one method of controlling storm-water at source (i.e. closest to the source of the precipitation) under a SuDS strategy. Green roofs are much easier to retrofit in the urban environment than many other SuDS components, so their potential for reducing storm-water problems in the UKâs cities is significant.
