University of Hawaii takes green approach to paving

In a push toward more environmentally sustainable practices, the University of Hawaii is using pervious concrete to pave some of the walkways and areas around the Hale Wainani and Hale Noelani student housing buildings.

The product has existed for decades, but it is relatively new in Hawaii.
