| | VW 1-liter eco-friendly car set to make a return | | 2008-07-02 16:34:00 | | A few years back, Volkswagen introduced a concept vehicle which derived its name from its stated goal of using just one liter of fuel per one-hundred kilometers traveled, and according to CAR production version may be on the way in 2010. The original concept actually beat its lofty goal rather handily as it managed to achieve a miserly 282 miles per gallon in testing. Much of its amazing fuel-saving capability stemmed from its 660 pounds (300 kilograms) curb weight. The concept also featured a single cylinder engine and a 1+1 seating arrangement down the center of the car. While the engine is likely to be replaced by a twin-cylinder turbodiesel with hybrid drive, the carbon fiber construction and canopy-style roof are likely headed for production.As you'd expect, such technology and carbon-heavy construction isn't going to come cheap. To offset part of the cost, the automaker is surely looking for some government assistance for purchasers of the limited edition machine, though it coul | | By: Car News | | |

| Eco-Friendly Homes Prove Popular In Spain | | 2008-07-02 16:09:00 | | The maturing of the Spanish real estate market and movements made away from mass urbanisation and high-rise property development may well be impacting negatively on the rate at which such formerly constructed accommodation is being sold, but in direct parallel it is having a positive effect on the quality of homes being constructed for the lifestyle market. The Spanish property development frenzy of the last decade that resulted in massive resort-style developments being constructed for those who wanted an accessible holiday apartment in the sun, or an affordable fly-to-let investment purchase, are proving less popular these days as other property markets open up and offer a more affordable choice buyers. Meanwhile, the evergreen and enduring appeal of Spain as a stunning, tried and tested lifestyle destination for retirees, relocating expatriates and those in search of the good life means there is now an emerging trend in those wanting to buy quality Spanish property.

| | Eco-Friendly Playroom | | 2008-06-01 13:44:19 | | When you're troubled about the environment, it's important to think green when wily and decorating your home to decrease your overall trail. Follow these steps to coin an eco-gracious playroom that both you and your kids will have. Use artless, earth-affable supplies, such as strand and linen fabrics and rugs. Cotton and linen are resistant to mushroom, making them good supplies to use around children who often have fragile immune systems and can have reactions to chemicals, dust and mold. Natural fibers are also more stable than insincere materials. Install a stopper story, which you can buy in tiles or planks that are a breeze to invest. Cork is hypoallergenic, provides a velvety face on which kids can play, resists wetness, and is low-static, making it trying for pet coat and dust to horde on it. Purchase low-VOC paints that water-based to use on the ramparts. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals emitted as gases from certain liquids and solids.

| | Shades of "Green"- Deciding Who is Eco-Friendly | | 2008-04-17 08:52:47 | | Today I read a newspaper article criticizing Whole Foods shopping market. One criticism is that they shouldn't sell produce from other countries, presumably because of the fuel it takes to bring such a shipment to the United States and then distribute it to other stores. While this is a sound argument, it makes me think that we should keep in mind that going green is subject to interpretation. Each person and company decides to what degree they want to help save the environment.Some people make seemingly drastic choices like giving up their automobile. We may think they are noble because of their choice (or crazy). They offset their carbon footprint but then someone else that is even more devoted to environmental responsibility will argue, "Yes, you gave up driving but you still use fossil fuels when you take the smog producing buses and trains. You should give that up entirely and ride a bicycle, like me." This more eco-friendly person smugly commends himself for how earth-sensitive h | | By: Safe Green Living | | |

Still, with lane-departure warnings, blind-spot warnings and adaptive cruise control already on the market, not to mention self-parking cars, who knows what the future holds? None of these new technologies would ever be possible without a great deal of research and development, however, and there is a new center in the U.K. being set up just for this purpose. The innovITS – ADVANCE research center promises the ability for "telecommunications, electronics and automotive industries, as well as... highways authorities and operators throughout Europe," to cooperate in a controlled and safe environment, according to Phil Pettitt, chief executive officer of innovITS.

| | | | Segway, General Motors Continue Collaboration on Eco-Friendly Transportation Solutions | | 2008-01-17 13:16:31 | | Saturn Flextreme with Integrated Segway PTs Unveiled at 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2008 -- Today at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) Segway Inc. and General Motors (GM) are showcasing a comprehensive solution for eco-friendly mobility - the Saturn Flextreme concept car with integrated Segway(R) Personal Transporters (PTs). Saturn Flextreme with Integrated Segway PTs: DETROIT - Two Segway(R) Personal Transporters are shown with General Motors' Saturn Flextreme concept. The concept is on display at the 2008 North American International Show (NAIAS). (PRNewsFoto/Segway Inc./Axel Weirdemann) The Saturn Flextreme is built on GM's global E-Flex electric drive architecture that was first debuted by the Opel brand at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show last October. The Flextreme design is the first functional automotive concept that integrates an onboard storage and charging system for two Segway PTs. "Segway is committed to developing safe, clean, innovative products that are redefining transportation for consumers and businesses," said Jim Norrod, Segway's chief executive officer. "The Flextreme concept with integrated Segway PTs is a great example of the evolution of transportation." The two Segway PTs housed in the concept's FlexLoad(R) cargo space operate on the same balancing technology used in the well-known personal transporters available today. Using Segway Smart Motion(TM) -- a unique combination of sensors, propulsion and intelligence -- the Segway PT balances in place and moves in response to the way the rider moves his or her body forward, backward, left or right. Special adjustments have been made to the Segway PT prototypes for easy loading and unloading into the Flex-Load cargo space. The tire diameter and track width were optimized to fit inside the vehicle and the prototypes have a unique exterior design to match the look and feel of the Flextreme, making them a cohesive part of this integr | | By: AutoBeat | blog Auto news, reviews, concepts, auto | | |
| | CES: GM Eco-Friendly Cadillac Provoq Concept | | 2008-01-09 08:34:00 | | Autos news from the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in LAS VEGAS, General Motors reveiled its next-gen eco-friendly Cadillac concept, named as Provoq. The Cadillac Provoq concept runs on a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium ion battery, according to General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner during a keynote speech yesterday at CES.The new Cadillac Provoq concept is expected to get 300 miles on a tank of hydrogen, and the fuel cell--GM's fifth generation of fuel cells--is half the size of the last one, which increases internal room and storage. On the roof sits a solar panel for running the car's electronics."It will go up to 100 miles an hour and from zero to 60 in 8.5 seconds," Wagoner said.The idea behind the Provoq is to extend some of the eco-friendly features GM has tinkered with in other concept cars into a luxury car.A shrinking supply of fossil fuels, environmental concerns, and rising demand for cars in emerging nations demand it.

| | | Heating Your Home with Wood: Eco-friendly? Carbon Neutral? | | 2008-01-04 13:56:00 | | Approximately 20 percent of the single family dwellings in Canada are heated to some extent with wood. According to Environment Canada, wood is used in more than 3 million Canadian homes as either a primary or secondary heat source. Of course, woodstoves and fireplaces are not only used for heating purposes, but also to create a “comforting and cozy” atmosphere.The Environment Canada site goes on to say that, in Canada, residential wood heating is responsible for 29% of the fine particle emissions associated with human activities. This makes it the third largest source of these emissions overall. Wood smoke contains over 100 pollutants -- these pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but are also linked to a wide range of health problems, and residential wood combustion is a major contributor to winter smog.That said, the efficient use of wood fuel is much more eco-friendly than more efficient and convenient fuels like kerosene and natural gas. According to the Green Trust website, natural gas emits 15 times more CO2 (carbon dioxide) per kg than wood, and kerosene nearly 10 times as much. Across the globe, most scientists now agree that CO2 is the main source of global warming.Natural Resources Canada states: Wood, however, differs from fossil fuels such as oil and gas because it is carbon neutral. The term "renewable" refers to the fact that trees recycle CO2. As a tree grows, it uses CO2 from the air as a source of carbon to build its structure. This carbon makes up about half of the weight of wood. When wood is burned, it decomposes rapidly, and CO2 is released into the atmosphere again. A similar amount of CO2 would be slowly released if the tree died and was left to rot on the forest floor. As a result, wood heating doesn't contribute to the problem of climate change the way fossil fuel use does. But wood fuel is truly renewable only if it is produced by using sustainable forestry practices. Canada's | | By: Pender Island Blog | | |

| | eco-friendly grocery bags | | 2007-08-31 01:35:00 | | I'm getting really tired of plastic bags, they are horrible for the environment, and while I am far from becoming obsessed with saving the planet, I think that this is a first step I could take.The problem with "green bags", is that most of the time they are not the most fashionable bags out there. So how do you save the planet and look good while doing it?Well, here are few tips in picking a stylish "green" bag:It doesn't have to be a "green" bag. It doesn't have to be organic. As long as you keep reusing the same bag, you are doing your part in saving the environment.It shouldn't be expensive. Considering you will store garlic and onions in it, it would be silly to ruin an expensive bag for groceries.These are the prettiest and cheapest totes I've found online:American Eagle Tote, available in different colors.For something different, how about a French Shopping Basket?But the best option, if you can crochet, is to make your own grocery tote with yarn made out of cut up plastic bags, referred to as "plarn", very interesting!While the worst option would have to beThe Louis Vuitton LoVe Tote!Tag line:"You can’t spell the word LOVE without the letters "LV"– Marc JacobsPrice tag:$1,720.Hey Marc! I have another word that you can't spell without LV: LucratiVe! | | By: NY SPENDER | | |
| | | Sustainable Toothbrush for the eco-friendly mouth | | 2007-07-16 16:48:00 | | Today, I want to look at a product that is essential to daily modern life: the toothbrush. The average American replaces his or her toothbrush 1.5 times per year. This translates into about 50 million pounds of toothbrush trash going into landfills each year. But we can eliminate or significantly reduce this amount. A little research turned up these results:Recycled (and recyclable) Materials:1. My favorite toothbrush out of all that I looked at must be Recyline's Preserve. Made from recycled polypropylene (aka old yogurt cups), the toothbrush can be returned to the Recyline to be reused in other products! A near perfect product. The Preserve is sold at many retailers all around the country. Click here to find one near you. Watch a video profile of the company here. Click here for a more in depth analysis from the blog Sustainableisgood. 2. Another cool toothbrush brand is Radius. The Original toothbrush is as innovative in its design as its cellulose based handle made from sustainable yield timber. Furthermore the Radius claims that the toothbrush lasts longer then conventional ones. Also, Radius offers the Source toothbrush with replaceable heads and a renewable handle. And another plus is that Radius manufactures all their products in the US!Replaceable heads: 1. Eco-Dent offers a full line of environmentally friendly (and often vegan friendly) mouth care products. Just saving the body of the toothbrush reduces waste by 3/4! Their products can be found in some stores (leave a comment if you know where in your community) and online. 2. Smile Britefrom Lotus Brands also offers toothbrushes with replaceable heads, and furthermore, you can opt for natural boar bristles instead of synthetic ones.3. Natural Collection offers some certified organic toothpaste and more toothbrushes with replaceable heads. But shipping from oversees has its climate implications.

| | | | Eco-Friendly Soy Candles | | 2007-06-03 17:21:34 | | I am a candle fanatic. I just love candles that smell like baked goods and fruits that are rich in their scents. It has been over 6 months since I’ve purchased candle making supplies. I have a fascination for making candles, but I haven’t gotten started yet. I need a kettle, boil bags, and other supplies. I think that once we move I’ll be more into my projects.
I’m interested in making soy candles. I didn’t know that soy lasts 3 times longer than paraffin wax. I didn’t know that paraffin is a by-product of gasoline refining and contains at least seven toxins including benzene, a carcinogen. Soy wax is a renewable resource, is cost effective, and eco-friendly. Soy wax also doesn’t produce the thick black soot that’s found around candles that use paraffin wax. I can’t give up my paraffin wax candles just yet, so I just warm them up on my warmer instead of burning them.

| | Eco friendly claw cat tree | | 2007-05-19 10:00:10 | | Pets can be eco friendly too, not that they have much choice in their owners way of life that is, but for the eco cat there are a few interesting ideas.
The green cat claw tree is just one product that can ensure that your cat is a green cat.
Made from 100% corrugated cardboard of which around 35% is recycled the trees come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, just so the cat does not get fed up with one design, no toxic paint is used and the scratches can be removed by simply sanding it lightly.
The average dimensions are 24” L x 10” W x 12” T, however the price is around $84 per piece, which for the cat to destroy maybe a little steep for some owners.
