| Could You Dig Up Some of Your Driveway? |
|
Elizabeth is truly pushing the envelope these days, recently telling us to load up our roofs with dirt, and now writing that we should think about getting rid of our
driveways and turning them into gardens. Years ago we covered what happened when artist Franke James did that in Toronto: The city came after her and told her it was illegal, that all the parking area must be maintained, and that it had to be
covered in asphalt, concrete, or interlock. After a noisy campaign that included Treehugger, she got to keep her garden. But once again we advise, before you tear out your driveway, check with a planning professional.

| These Frogs Are So Small, They Lose Their Balance |
|
Little red pumpkin toadlets can't jump, because just like humans, their balance is all in their ears. Professor Richard Essner tells Mary Jo: “Specifically, the semicircular canals of the inner ear provide key information about rotational movements to a jumping frog which allows it to control its posture in mid-air in order to prepare for landing,” Essner explains. “It turns out that they don't work very well when they get too small.”
