On the 2007 Parade of Homes we saw a new driveway paved with what looked like concrete cocoa-puffs. It's the latest rage: Eco Creto. It's claim to fame is water can pass through it into the ground below. This makes for less run-off, and in large installations, like parking lots, it eliminates the need for those big mosquito-breeding retention ponds. Its a way to make a difference on the environment without sacrificing function.
They say it'll handle the freezing and thawing we have, and because it's installed on a deep bed of stone, it won't heave.
Every Green Thursday, LipsYard will deal with an issue vital to our global environment.
