Areas of interest in Alaska

From this paragraph:

"Alaska is famous for its national parks. Some of their parks include the Denali National Park, Glacier Bay National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, Kluane National Park and Wrangell St. Elias National Park."

I deleted the sentence: "You are bound to find many which offer wildlife attractions, mountains and aquatic areas to enjoy."

From this paragraph:

"The Elmendorf State Fish Hatchery, also in Anchorage, is another great destination. Operated by the state’s fish and game department, it offers salmon viewing in late May through July, as well as August through mid-September."

I deleted the sentence: "This is more of an ideal place to visit if you’re into fishing and the outdoors."

Changed "In addition to displaying everything about this state’s history" to just "additionally."

Got rid of the crutch words like "definitely" and "just."

Changed "The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward is one place you won’t want to leave off your itinerary" to "Don't leave the Alaska SeaLife Center off your itinerary." The revised sentence seems to be more active.

REASON FOR CUTTING: Word count limit and poor writing.

Pros and cons of having a green roof

The advantages of having a green roof are both environmental and economical. On one hand, they can reduce your heating bill by up to 40% because they act as a natural air conditioner by increasing the insulation levels in your roof. They also keep homes cooler during hot seasons because of evaporative cooling. On another hand, they reduce stormwater run-off and filter pollutants out of rainwater. They also use recycled materials and use natural resources. It also reduces noise pollution in your home. Sounds from planes, machinery, cars, etc., are either reflected, deflected or absorbed. On top of this, they are more sustainable, lasting for up to 75 years if maintained well.

The disadvantages of having a green roof is the price (some can cost as much as $4000 to install) and the high maintenance. Done correctly, you won’t have to worry too much about maintaining the greenery but you will have to occasionally check and make sure everything is as it should be. Additionally, the roots can penetrate the waterproofing membrane, risking collapse.
