Article Summary: Porous Asphalt Is King of the Road
In the article “Porous Asphalt is King of the Road”, Pave Green (n.d.) believes that porous asphalt is “King of the Road”. According to Pave Green (n.d.), porous asphalt improves safety, reduces erosion and mitigates water pollution, while giving back to the earth. Porous asphalt roads prove to be a sustainable method in reducing pollution due to its natural filtration ability. One of the best applications is found in stormwater management where rainwater can flow through it, reducing the risk of floods. It can be used on superhighways where it enhances the safety of the road users especially during winter climates. Pave Green (n.d.) supports the reduced usage of chlorine-laden treatments used in deicing and anti-icing practices which contain harmful agents that can be detrimental to the environment and quality of water. Porous asphalt is significantly more cost-effective and environmentally friendly as compared to its conventional counterpart.

Hi Ash,
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe for your last sentence, "It is significantly ....", maybe you can restated the main subject of your summary instead of just putting "It is" as I feel that there are many main subject that you are talking about in your summary before the last sentence which may make it a little confusing while reading it.
The second sentence that I think you can improve is your first sentence. I think it is a little long maybe you can spilt it into two sentences to make it more clear on what you are stating.
Overall, I think your summary is great and understandable.
Hi Yume,
DeleteThank you for reading my summary, I appreciate your input and will come up with a revised version shortly.
Warmest regards,
Ash
