過疎地に広がる休耕田を利用して育てたコケで、都会のビルの屋上を緑化する。大学発のベンチャー企業が編み出したコケの促成栽培技術を生かした事業が今春、福井県若狭町で本格始動する。
　京都市伏見区の端山保育園。鉄筋コンクリート２階建ての園舎は築３８年。毎年、夏になると熱気がこもり、山内園長は１０年近く前から屋上の緑化を考えていた。だが、芝をはる場合は、まず土を敷き、散水用のタンクを置く必要がある。重さは数トンにもなり、古い屋根が耐えられるか心配だった。
　そんな時、土もタンクもいらないコケを使った緑化を知り、注文した。昨年７月末に約２週間で緑化を終えた。約１５０平方メートルで費用は約４５０万円。芝と違って雨水だけで維持でき、芝刈りや除草の手間もかからない。山内園長は「１カ月近く雨が降らなくても大丈夫。夏の朝登園した時の熱気は体感で３、４度は低かったと思う。本当に良かった」と喜ぶ。ニーズは多いのではないかと思いますね。ぜひ、利用してみたらいかがでしょう。
