Google Roller Coaster To Be Powered By The Sun

Posted: 01 Apr 2010 11:03 AM PDT

google roller coaster

Who doesn’t love a good roller coaster? Well, apparently the guys and gals over at Google will soon have one in their office building.

Remember today is April 1st, which means many articles on the net, will not be real. Not sure if this is an April Fool’s Joke or not, so do take this post with a grain of salt. The article referenced comes via Inhabitat (link below) and essentially Google claims that they have an eco friendly roller coaster in the works for their Google campus. The Google coaster will be powered by the Sun, and will only run when energy is in surplus mode.

In addition, the coaster will be made from a series of recycled and or sustainable materials, including seats made from recycled plastic water bottles. What’s most interesting (or funny) is that the coaster will be created in the shape of the Google logo.

Believe this story? Tell us below in the comment area. If it is true, I wanna go for a ride.

Eco friendly Cat Tree

Posted: 01 Apr 2010 10:42 AM PDT

It’s no secret we Americans love to splurge on our animal pet friends, especially our cats and dogs.

eco friendly cat tree

Take a look above at the playful but eco friendly cat tree I spotted over at Cats Play, the site dedicated to cat accessories of all types.

The cat tree is harvested from downed trees or local sustainable lumber, and each one is handcrafted by a US artisan.

This item is made from a real tree, with its bark removed. It’s 95% biodegradable and therefore better for the environment than standard commercial cat trees. The trees are harvested locally from situations such as tress downed by storms or trees cut from timber cutting and forest management.

This large eco cat tree would delight your kitty, the environment and your wallet.

Check out the New Electric Fedex Truck

Posted: 31 Mar 2010 08:34 PM PDT

Fedex had already made known some months back that they would be shifting to a more eco-friendly way of handing out packages and it looks like that time is now. New electric-powered Fedex trucks officially came out this week in the UK and are expected to debut in the US this June.

Fedex has chosen a conservative approach, starting with just 4 electric vehicles for now. Kudos to Fedex for this eco-friendly shift for their business!

The BunBun Eco Light

Posted: 31 Mar 2010 08:33 PM PDT

Landport of Japan has unveiled a new wind-up flashlight with the BunBun Eco Light. This is a compact torch which you can charge by simply swinging it. By extending the handle, you can charge the built-in rechargeable battery by cranking the BunBun for 30 seconds.

The BunBun Eco Light should be a handy light source to have along, especially for camping or excursions. It comes in four colors (purple, green, pink and black). It is set to be available this April and will retail for about $22.00.

Leav, New Outdoor Solar Habitat

Posted: 31 Mar 2010 07:12 PM PDT

outdoor solar habitat

Going camping this Summer? Have a look at the new outdoor solar habitat called LEAV, from French designer Benjamin Charles.

The small modular home is powered by a rather large solar panel which attaches to the canvas roof, and provides hot water to the kitchen and bathroom.  This is a stand alone unit that is being targeted to the hotel and camping industry. Camping?

I would imagine that this awesome solar habitat is meant for large commercial camping, and not your usual hiking trail camping trip.
