People who have performed a variety of feng shui fixes to their homes have other ways to benefit that also help the world.
Most contemporary forms of pavement create heat islands and contribute to global warming. They reflect or absorb heat according to the mix that is used to make them, and that is what creates the problem. You can help minimize your contributions to climate change, reduce the temperature around your house more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and beautify your home at the same time — all by replacing your polluting driveway with a green one.
By installing green driveways and pavement you are decreasing the number of times that you have to pay for refinishing or other maintenance work. Green driveways and green pavement have few of the problems associated with existing materials for roads and driveways — you obtain durability and beauty for longer, and that decreases the cost of installation.
Greenmeadow Architects in Palo Alto, California (US phone 650-856-8354), has used 12-inch-square concrete pavers and filled the gaps between the pavers with turf or lawn. Those who drive by see only the green.
Home and Garden TV provides a do-it-yourself approach to building a green driveway.
The optimal version of a green driveway disappears entirely. Some use latticed paving blocks made of concrete. These are planted with grass and gradually disappear under the spreading turf. However, grass dies when you park a vehicle on the grass for hours at a time.
