The Cafe Racer is a 1975 GMC pickup that essentially burns up used coffee to create a combustible gas. The gas is filtered on its way to the engine and, Viola, a caffeine-powered truck.

When computers become obsolete it is important that they are recycled in the proper manner. If computers and related accessories are simply thrown in the trash, they will have a negative impact on the world and the environment for years to come.

huggs

Everybody wants to have a cleaner Earth, but few of them take any actions. One of those people is Doug Selsam, who designed high-power wind turbines that can generate enough energy to power a home. The wind turbines measure about 14-18 inches in diameter and they can generate an impressive amount of 200 watts for a 20 mph wind, but the wind turbines could do better if the winds are stronger.

huggs

We rely on big trucks to haul stuff across the country for us. But what about when they sit there idling? Not so great for the environment, right? Right. IdleAire has created a device that alleviates the need for idling, while retaining all that truckers are accustomed to having while at rest. Good for the trucks, truckers, and the planet.

How Much Extra Will Consumers Pay for Green Products?

(via www.thedailygreen.com)

huggs

The ethical and green products industry has been gaining steam for years precisely because some business visionaries have believed that consumers will indeed pay a little extra for things they can feel better about. But exactly how much extra, and what do companies actually have to do?
