The Greenroads Foundation, which facilitates a rating system to provide LEED-like certifications for roadways, made its first award last month, to the Meador/Kansas/Ellis Trail project. The project was recognized at the silver level for its sustainable practices, including the incorporation of around 5 tons of crushed up, recycled toilets as part of the asphalt for a widened sidewalk. Greenroads was developed at University of Washington by faculty and students in Civil and Environmental Engineering and launched with the help of the Center for Commercialization.
