If you owned a building in New York City, what would you put on the roof? A sundeck? Solar panels, perhaps, in an effort to go green?

It probably would not occur to you to put 200,000 pounds of soil and a thousand earth worms up there. But that's exactly what has been deposited on top of a building in Brooklyn.

Lisa Goode, the founder of Goode Green, explains her dream of making her Greenpoint neighbourhood live up to its name.
