Green Roads
Green Roads is an idea that occurred to me while travelling on a paved road a couple weekends ago. I thought to myself:
- How could we pave that road with matter that produces oxygen?
- Or could we pave the road with material that absorbs the exhaust fumes generated by the vehicles travelling on it?
- Or could the road generate electricity for the lights that illuminate it as well as the surrounding communities?
- a project in Nepal
- a very readable description of permeable pavement
Now, how can we generate interest in this subject among eco-entrepreneurs and scientists (both young and old) everywhere?
