Its expensive but it will out last you and sheds snow better than any other roof material. Green isn't your only color option. There is a wide range of available colors.

Most of the homes we have in New Zealand that have a living roof, have their own sheep or goat to 'mow' the roof. Safer than a lawn mower.
