In your initial post, discuss which product you would use if you were paving a 10,000 ft parking lot. In your reasoning, be sure to consider cost, environmental impact, maintenance, and overall life cycle.(at least 2-3 paragraphs with 2-3 sources)
Cite from the Chapter 3 reading and from the websites to support your response.
Respond to the two responses (see attached), comment on their choice of asphalt or pervious concrete. Did you identify any gaps in their reasoning? In arriving at their choice, did they outline any considerations that you perhaps did not think of? (1 – 2 paragraphs responding to each peer)
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.
