The endless downslope steepening, the tasselled corn tossing, and everything suddenly green — sky green, pavement green, parents green.

In the effort to promote the construction of green pavement the asphalt concrete industry has been making consistent effort to use warm-mix asphalt (WMA) in their construction.
Among several available UHI mitigation strategies, this study is limited to the analysis of the environmental impacts of urban vegetation (green roofs, green facades, vertical greeneries and green pavements).
To help people walk more, for example, cities can focus on pedestrianisation projects, car-free walkways, river walks, canal towpaths, widening and greening pavements, improving security, cycle lanes, speed limits and above all, air quality – our ancient lungs cannot cope with diesel particulates.
The pedestal was beneath an arcade on the green marble pavement a few feet from the door.
Fig. 6 a Green chequered pavement made up with malachite and an organic lake (f.91r) and b its µ-Raman spectrum showing the characteristic bands of malachite.
The nonprofit environmental organization advocates for greener measures on land like porous pavement, green roofs and rain barrels that absorb storm water and higher E.P.A. water quality standards.
Different system configurations with green roofs, permeable pavement and storage tanks are compared by scenario analysis with full consideration of future uncertainties induced by urbanization and climate change.
The performance of such "green" and novel pavement construction technology in terms of mechanical properties, including compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, flexural strength and toughness, as well as durability to freezing-thawing cycles were investigated.
The carbon embodied in construction materials represented a prominent part of the carbon footprint for green roofs, permeable pavement, sand filters, rainwater harvesting systems, and reinforced concrete pipes while material transport and construction dominated that of bioretention systems, ponds, wetlands, level spreader-grassed filter strips and concrete-lined swales.
