Here is my crazy idea and I wonder if anyone is working on this.

Given the great amount of space dedicated to Driveways in the US. Has anyone experimented with a coating or method for Tar which would consume C02 and release oxygen . This coating would have to be protective and not reduce the functionality of the driveway.

Thoughts?

Several people around here have green driveways with some special driveable underlay and many of the old houses use two concrete strips with grass or dirt in between.

This is another idea.

There was also roofing material to reflect light back when urban heat islands were the big thing. Now it's CO2. Those rich enough to have driveways produce far more CO2 in their executive jobs than their driveways could suck up.

The easiest thing would be - put your car on the road, or move the garage right on the garden fence. Rip the concrete out - this is not an easy task. Plant some fruit trees, shrubs etc.

My neighbor still has the dual concrete strip driveway with grass in between - a retro throwback that is the new green apparently.

Loved the link - amazed that North York had such a bylaw - here in Hamilton many people still have gravel driveways in the older areas and there are a handful of the dual strips remaining.

What I have noticed in newer subdivisions is that many people cover their entire back yard in decks or patios. There is even an artificial turf product (plastic grass) that had been used - the opposite of green petroleum as a lawn...
