Solar power technology has come a long way in recent years. There was a time when it was only any good for calculators, but now solar power is becoming more available to everyone in a lot of different ways.

There is a new company called Sunrise Solar, who specialize in the production of solar panels. They have come up with an idea where the sunroof of car is replaced with their solar power unit. This will then keep the car battery fully charged

Here is something that most SUV owners are sure to love. Especially if you are a Ford addict, if you buy a new Escape or Mercury Mariner, you will be gifted with a new soy-based cushion cover and will be the first ones to have this feature in the market.
Ford has a lot of planning to do as far as planting their carbon footprints on their vehicle line and what better way to do it other than to start with your top selling vehicles in the market.

One thing about delivering goods to vital distribution areas is transporting them through rigs and trucks. We all know for a fact that the emissions that these large trucks let out contribute towards the growing concern of pollution and health concerns. For Fonterra, picking up milk from the farms can be seen as one of these harmful contributors but all that is about to change.
Fonterra is now trialling the use of eco-friendly tankers that is a

In fact there were over ten thousand electric bikes sold during 2007, which is staggering and just goes to prove that these bikes although fairly expensive, they start at around $1,500 the e

There is no doubt that plastic has been getting some bad press recently, in fact it probably goes back around ten or twelve years when plastic was first named as an eco badguy. It’s been deemed an eco badguy with good reason, too. After all, plastic hangs around the planet for hundreds of years after initial use, and sadly, the plastic pile just keeps growing.

In these times, where oil is perhaps one of the hot topics the world is talking about, the search for alternative fuel is rampant. We have seen the suggestions of such alternative fuel like algae and biodiesels. However, in India and the Philippines, a plant called Jatropha can perhaps add to these alternatives.
Jatropha is a tree, growing in the Gambia bush. The seeds contain oil that can be used as fuel: about 1/3 of the weight o

We all know that bikes are great. They are green and keep you fit! This one designed by Matt Clark is even greater than the average bike because it is made from plastic and can be totally recycled!

It is surprising that something like this has not been done before. The idea is easy enough, it is just a matter of putting it into practice. Of course, it would have been a lot better if it had been made by using recycled plastic, but there is

Drive up to the nearest gasoline station these days and you will see the gasoline choices that you can fill in your car’s gas tank. But among these choices, most car owners will always go for the premium gasoline since it is safer for cars.
Since years back we have noted that if you don’t know what fuel to put in your car, your engine may result in the knocking sound or more commonly know as busted engines that may need to be overhauled. Th

Not to be outdone, General Motors is not about to phase out its mainstream cars such as the very popular Cadillac. The Cadillac Provoq is GM’s first concept car that aims to show-off its eco-friendly technology as well as installed gadgets that comes with this luxury vehicle. It runs on hydrogen fuel and lithium ion batteries and has a solar panel to power its electronic devices.

Most of us would have seen how bio fuels are made, it takes some basic equipment and the ability to be able brings the mixture to the boil! See at this point I get really put off from doing that, there is something about boiling a mixture of vegetable oil and diesel that simply scares the hell out of me.

Pollution is one of the contributing aspects of the greenhouse gases issue and while many have advised and come up with varying degrees of addressing this issue, nothing has really been seen to resolve pollution from driving.

The search for alternative vehicles is in high gear. Most people understand the importance and advantages of considering alternative hybrid and electric cars, but some have reservations as far as seating capacity and recharging the vehicle.
For example, electric cars thrive on electric energy that can only be charged when parked at home. The Smart Ed, though not in the market just yet, is one good example. While many consider it a good second ca

It seems that the Scottish authorities have not heard about Donald Trump and the fact that nobody says no to him.
His plans for $2 billion golf resort on the Scottish coast were rejected last year; this was because the 1,400 acre location at the Balmedie Beach in Scotland is regarded to be rather special.

Consumers and car manufacturers have focused so much on the private sector of cars that they have forgotten the business side of the equation. Trucks need to be addressed as well, as they tend to be on the road more often and for a longer duration than traditional private cars. Trucks are next on the list to “green” and make more fuel efficient, but the real question is; when?

In a country where traffic has always been a problem, the good thing about the continued increase of oil in the Philippines is perhaps private and public vehicles which used to throng the streets would rather stay at home or walk.

Thanks to the continuous rise in oil prices, do not be surprised to see more compact cars or even eco-friendly developed vehicles on the roads in the coming months. With all hope for a decline in the outrageous oil prices, the wise consumer needs to act quickly. Compact cars which save more fuel or even the eco-friendly cars that run on alternative fuel are sure to be the next boom and demand that consumers will be looking for.
