Glass is a great eco material it has the quality of being able to be fashioned into virtually any shape or any size, and yet when we are finished with it we can start all over again by recycling it.
Take this glassware from Uncommon Goods, this is not just recycled glassware, this glass has come from the auto industry, yes this glass used to be in a car. Maybe it was a windscreen or headlight cover, whatever the purpose then, it is certainly, mu

The maintenance practices we often undertake for our cars will usually point towards making sure that they are always consuming the proper amount of fuel and performing in tip top shape each time we get in them. One thing we normally avoid would be car-breakdowns to which such discomforts will cause delays and eventually ruin our day.
On the ecological aspect, we are doing the world a favor as well whenever we allow our regular car maintenance

It seems to be hard to actually find a substance like motor oil as being eco friendly by never the less this is what Green Earth Technologies are telling us about their new product G Oil, which will be available to the US public as from next month.
It is in fact instead of being a petroleum based product, which is what you would normally associate with motor oil, in fact this motor oil is made from animal fat that has been obtained from variou

Its quite possible that not everyone will like these, but it is another use for those old tyres, which will all know are extremely difficult to get rid of when they are not used for the purpose they were made for.
Because they are used tyre this is going to mean that every one will be different and so this makes them just slightly a bit special than something that has been made in mass.
Handmade from 100% recycled tyres.

Ever wondered what happens to all of those car keys when cars get recycled?
Well here is one idea that will really make you think about all the other bits and pieces of old cars. This is made from the car key of a Ford Mustang; it has been shaped and finished in such a way that it does not actually look like a key at first.

Segway is just one of those things that just keep’s coming back in a new guise time after time.
This time the Segway is to become a personal back up machine as it fits into a compartment within the vehicle, this would be great for trips out and it may ok if you happened to run out of gas, providing that you are in range of the gas station. Mind you GM would probably put this into an electric car!

Although this is called a car, the fact that it has four wheels is the only real resemblance to a car it is more like a toy as the size of it shows, 3.3 cm x 2.2 cm x 1.4 cm.
But saying that it is a toy is wrong too, because it has small parts it would be dangerous to let children play it. However this is a solar powered device which will begin to move when placed in strong light inside, or sunlight outside.

Now this is what you would call a really cool set of wheels!
Built from a cooler box, this vehicle runs on electricity and still acts as a cooler too! There are other models in the range this electric one will give you around ten miles, while the gas model will take you along for thirty miles, that’s you and twenty four cans of beer!
No price, but it the thought that counts

A man in India has created a car that is powered by the sun, not a new concept but for a one man organisation in India with little resources, it is really great.
The car that he has created is called the Kanso, it is a two seater car, which is powered by the solar panels and by a 100 cc engine, which will generate around 320 watts or power and can reach speeds of up to 40 kph. There has bee some interest in this car from the States, especially

At The 9th Annual Auto Expo in India, the worlds cheapest car was revealed. The Tata Nano will sell for $2,500 US dollars.
The Tata Nano will be sold only initially in India, then Latin Ameria, Asia, and other developing nations. This is so cool and although many environmentalists are up in arms about it, i think in the USA it would be a great boon. The argument is that in India most people now use bikes and or scooters to get around, so with

Created by the research group “Smart Cities” from MIT, this scooter is really cool not just because it is a light weight folding electrically powered scooter, but simply because it’s an inexpensive way of travelling around the city in style.
These bikes offer a great mode of transport that is silent, green and easy to ride. The bike is charged every time that it is placed into its rack.

It is always great to see art made from junk, some people hate it but I just like the way that something that has virtually no value can become a piece of art that pleases the eye and once again has a value added to it.
Not only are these sculptures great for adding style to a wall, they offer hope in way, as they prove that even if something is broken and worthless, it can still become something that is worth while a loved.
Prices from $200

For some people this is a dream, to be able to build your own eco friendly car and drive it around, now would that be cool or not?
However if all eco friendly cars looked like this one, then there would not be many takers for the green machine a sit looks something between a babies pram and an old horse cart.
But to be serious for one minute, this is a project that has been made from minimal financial resources and therefore they have had to

Why traffic light? Because they are made from genuine pieces of 1990’s traffic light glass but these are smooth and with no sharp edges and come in necklace and earrings.
This is a great concept which is made from sterling silver and three prices of glass from the original traffic lights, one of each colour. They are defiantly different; in fact you could say a traffic stopper!

This is the city swing, which is supposed to be the future of the taxi in town near to where you live. This exciting and innovative idea will be the solution to the problems of pollution and of course congestion which together mean good news for all of us.
The vehicle will be able to carry three people including the driver, it is only around a third of the size of a car, so the advantages are obvious, but will we ever see it on the streets? Li

Hemp fuel is actually a bio diesel that could run on an ordinary diesel engine without any modifications etc, there are many types of bio diesel around which means that eventually there will be a choice of which flavour fuel
