“Did you know we have more than 40,000 acres of available rooftops in New York City? That’s 47 Central Parks,” says Blomquist. “By farming and processing botanicals on otherwise unused rooftops, we’ll be drastically reducing the carbon emissions emitted from processing and shipping these raw materials from halfway across the globe.
