Abstract

The excessive amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is among the most significant effects of global warming, which leads to many disadvantages. The objective of this paper is to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide sequestration by beach morning glory placed on a flat roof, in order to estimate the CO2 reduction in the atmosphere. The study concluded that, planting beach morning glory on the roof surface could reduce the indoor air temperature as well as mitigating the greenhouse gas emission, particularly carbon dioxide, thus enhance the quality of life.
