Environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks and structures constructed from recycled materials from solid waste municipal landfills are disclosed. The environmentally friendly construction blocks and structures are made from pieces of solid waste materials coated with silica fume, slag cement and Portland cement, which are then mixed with water and dried in a mold. A layer of grout or a fireproof material may be disposed on one side of the environmentally responsible insulating construction block. The environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks provide high insulation as well as strength for applications such as green roofing, green decking and structure construction. Environmentally friendly structures can be built by pouring the wet mix of solid waste material pieces into molds to form walls, and then to pour a layer of the wet mix of solid waste material pieces as a roof deck, thereby creating a self-supporting structure in a monolithic pour.

A tree anchoring apparatus, a tree anchoring kit and a method of anchoring of a tree on a roof deck is provided consisting of three tree cabling systems attached to a tree. Each tree cabling system can exist in one of two states, depending on whether there is slack in the system or whether there is resistance due to movement of the tree from a vertical position to a horizontal position. In a wind event that causes the tree to move from a vertical position to a horizontal position, one or more of the tree cabling systems will experience resistance that keeps the tree in a horizontal position. When the wind event is over, the tree can be returned to a vertical position.
