CD cases are still in demand these days, particularly to store audio and video discs. However, the problem really draws in on the actual make of these CD cases. Most of them are made of plastic but we all know how plastic has become an issue as far as adhering towards the waste problems we have to settle these days.

We have seen the infusion of various eco-friendly materials, the latest of which is nonfood rice. And leading the use of these types of casings are no other than Victor Company of JVC/Kenwood Corporation.

With 10 percent of their material coming from rice rather than plastic resin, the CD/DVD cases require less petroleum to produce. And while it seems it would be more eco-friendly to recycle such cases rather than incinerate them,

This would result in 10 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions because the rice component would simply return to the atmosphere carbon that had previously been absorbed by the rice plants.

Everyone is familiar with the Bible. It may seem like a standard book but the area of how to make one is something that can really apply a touch of green as well.

But eco-friendly bibles we are referring to how the usual materials such as paper is used. The covers can also be considered as green projects and the efforts of Renewal network has found a way to come up with eco-friendly versions of the Good Book published by Harper One.

Produced with soy-based inks, recycled paper, and a cotton/linen cover, “The Green Bible” highlights in green more than a thousand passages relating to God’s love for creation and the role of humans in caring for the earth.

People who love to go surfing are bound to love these soy-based surfboards launched by Jeff Bushman and Kyle Bernhardt. Surfboarding is something familiar to most especially when Hawaii is mentioned and while we do have the standard surfboards in the market, trying to mess around with the materials using the sustainable and ideal eco-friendly resources would something be different when you try to surf the great oceans of Hawaii.

This summer Jeff Bushman and Kyle Bernhardt launched the Country Feeling Surfboards line, which uses “soy- and sugar-based foams, plant-based and solar-activated resins, and hemp, silk, and bamboo cloth,” according to their press release. As Bernhardt explained in a phone interview last night, he and his partner, both originally from California, had been “messing around with the stuff” for almost two years before they decided to create their line of boards built from alternative materials.

For sure, surfers could care less about the materials used on their boards but if you could do it without spoiling the fun you have riding the waves then why not?

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.

Ford wil introdue new soy- based foam seats on its Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner in 2009. These cushions are wrapped in 100 per cent recycled fabric, the first such seats in the automotive industry.

“As Ford continues to migrate soy-based foam seat inserts across many vehicle platforms, we’re improving our environmental footprint by conserving limited resources and reducing carbon dioxide emissions,” said Debbie Mielewski, technical leader, Ford Plastics Research.

This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.

With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon for local Mississippi farmers, who will see an increase in the price paid to them for soybeans.

Why biodiesel?

Biodiesel is cleaner fuel and made from renewable resources, not to mention a local domestic product, which means less reliance on foreign oil.

The new biodiesel will be available to both commercial and public users, here is a list of the diesel service stations from Scott Petroleum.
