10+ Scandinavian Houses With Green Roofs Look Straight Out Of A Fairytale

Scandinavians are serious about their green roofs. They've had them for a while now and it doesn't look like they're going anywhere. They even have a competition every year to determine the best green roof project in Scandinavia by the Scandinavian Green Roof Association! But there is a reason why Scandinavians like these green roofs so much... They are not only a beautiful feature for a house, but they also offer numerous social, environmental and financial benefits. They absorb rainwater, reduce winter heating costs, reduce summer air-conditioning costs, provide insulation, and are long lasting - just to name a few.

Keep on scrolling to take a look at ours compiled list of the most unique and beautiful living roofs in Scandinavia.

2-Year-Old Triplets Become Best Friends With Their Garbage Collectors (10+ Pics)

Unlike any other soon-to-be-3-year-olds, triplets Heaton, Holden and Wilder Reich wait for Garbage Day more than anything. Every Tuesday and Friday, when garbage collectors Mr. Chad, Mr. Rob and Mr. Andrew come down to the triplets’ home in Florida, the toddlers run out with joy and a drink or a special snack in hand to greet them.

The friendship started when the triplets were just a couple months old, and since then, they’ve formed a very close bond with the sanitation workers. Every Tuesday and Friday they spend about 10-15 minutes together, hugging, high-fiving, fist-bumping, and catching up. Sometimes the little ones even help the workers with the garbage. Could this be any cuter?!

This Guy Did A Romantic Photoshoot With His Thesis Which Ended In Bittersweet Goodbye

As any Master’s student will know, a thesis isn’t just a paper. A thesis is the physical manifestation of several months of your life, and during that time both you and your thesis can end up developing a close-knit bond. It’s natural. But there’s a limit. And as you can see from these pictures, this guy went beyond that limit.

Deciding that he couldn’t bear to part with his thesis without some kind of fond farewell, 26-year-old Morris Vanegas, a student at MIT studying a duel masters in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, chose to say goodbye with a romantic photoshoot. Obviously. “To my lovely thesis, whom I had to turn into MIT today,” wrote Vanegas. “You made me a better person, pushing me through all obstacles when I felt weak. Your sense of humor is just like mine. It’s like we were always on the same page. I hope to see your face again soon, in the references section of future works on space suits.” Anybody got a tissue?

Post-It War Between Two Office Buildings Ends With Epic Finale

Post-It War Between Two Office Buildings Ends With Epic Finale

Post-it notes. The world would be in chaos without them. Nobody would remember anything. Nobody would be able to turn their office walls into superhero murals. Nobody would be able to leave passive-aggressive messages on the doors of communal refrigerators. And nobody would be able to have the sort of epic Post-it note battle that recently took place in New York.

It all started innocently enough. An employee at Harrison and Star wrote a simple “hi” in Post-it notes on her window and waited for somebody to respond. And somebody did. They wrote “sup”. So far, so civil. But it didn’t stop there. Oh no. It was only just getting started! Both buildings host a number of marketing and media agencies and their creative inhabitants couldn’t resist getting involved in the action. Soon enough the windows were full of funny messages and pictures. But as you’ll discover below, it all came to a devastating end in the most unexpected of ways…(h/t: twisted sifter)

Everything started with an innocent “HI” on the 6th floor at 75 Varick Street in NYC
