    I saw lots of cement, especially in parking lots, that could easily be replaced with permeable pavement of some sort!

      YES! SO much of our landscape is smothered in cement. And lots of exposed soil is planted with grass/lawns which provide NO environmental benefits whatsoever. We need to make sure every patch of earth is being put to good use--feeding wildlife and pollinators, filtering and absorbing rain water, providing habitat for little critters, and absorbing C02. Trees and wildflowers are also A LOT prettier than concrete and grass/mulch patches.
