There’s a wonderfully inspiring story online how a North York artist turned her four-car parking pad into a garden, notwithstanding municipal requirements for a paved driveway. Franke James eventually got Toronto’s first permit for a “green” driveway, and estimates that she has already kept 10,135 gallons of stormwater out of the sewers. Hopefully, she’ll inspire many more people to do the same.

 

 it’s great to read good news for a change.
