| Posted: 29 Sep 2010 12:30 PM PDT Okay, so nothing about the color of champagne is changing, but producers in Reims, France are looking at ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide their champagne produces.
Champagne bottles always seem to be very heavy, mainly to deal with the pressure of the champagne, but this means more effort is required to transport the bottles around the world and therefore more carbon dioxide will be emitted. The first step is slimming down the bottles, a process which has already started, to try and help save approximately 8,000 tons a year – the same as taking 4,000 small cars off the road every year; a good effort. via NY Times Need Green Web Hosting?

| Cadbury Launches Eco-Friendly Heroes Chocolates Posted: 29 Sep 2010 09:23 AM PDT  Right in time for the coming Holidays, Cadbury is going green this Christmas season by offering their chocolates encased in eco-friendly cardboard boxes. They will be distributed at all Tesco UK stores. Cadbury thus replaces the familiar metal tin packaging that they have been using all these years, reducing packaging costs and of course bringing down their carbon footprints in the process. The popular Heroes brand is being distributed in eco-friendly cardboard boxes to all Tesco's UK stores in the Bournville manufacturer's latest environmentally-friendly trial. Need Green Web Hosting?

| Volvo Developing Car Panel Batteries Posted: 29 Sep 2010 09:21 AM PDT  It looks like Volvo is cooking up something and it concerns electric transport technology. While that are doesn't really seem surprising considering that most car companies are doing that today, they are planning something interesting, making use of car panels to act as batteries. The Swedish vehicle manufacturer is currently collaborating with the Imperial College in London on a materials development project which could eventually turn your entire vehicle into an ultra-light battery running on all four wheels. Now that is something worth noting but for now, nothing has transpired to make this all happen. Let us hope for the best! Need Green Web Hosting? Check out our latest review of green web hosts.

| Posted: 29 Sep 2010 12:01 AM PDT  Solar powered vehicles are coming out in numbers and now we have one that will power a hovercraft. This solar powered hovercraft was designed by Lukas Medeisis and will be unveiled in Helsinki by 2020. The hovercraft aims to establish a link between nature and capital city's residents. This will be done through shifting public transportation from the city center to the coastline, which would deliver commuters great views of the long forgotten coastline during their daily commute. This hovercraft-type vehicle is will be known as the AirFLOW. Need Green Web Hosting? Check out our latest review of green web hosts. Related posts

| Car Arc Solar Powered Car Port Posted: 28 Sep 2010 11:50 PM PDT  We have seen a lot of recharging devices made for phones and other handy gadgets. Now we have one made for cars and bikes. Coming from Bike Arc, these new solar powered car port chargers will make sure you car or bike never runs low on juice. They were created using bent tubes which run parallel to others. They come with a polycarbonate roof where a thin solar panel will constantly pull in the rays of the sun daily. The design isn't just for cars but for electric bikes as well. However it remains a concept for now. Need Green Web Hosting? Check out our latest review of green web hosts. Car Arc Solar Powered Car Port Related posts

| Yahoo! Plays to Green Consumers Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:50 PM PDT Yahoo! has recently opened a green data center in New York where it utilises a lot of the weather's natural forces to help remove heat from the center.
First up it has been built in a windy spot so as to use the cool winds to remove heat from the data center, which has been built in a long 'chicken-coop' layout so as to maximise the prevailing winds draft. More heat will also be taken out by heat pumps powered by hydroelectricity. This news might well help Yahoo! take a large market share of greener readers for their search engine business which is currently lagging behind Google. If it does win the support of eco minded users, expect more green advancements to come. via Huffington Post Need Green Web Hosting? Check out our latest review of green web hosts. Yahoo!

| Apple Refuses to Enter iPhone in UK Green Ranking Program Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:28 PM PDT There’s an initiative in the UK to allow mobile phones to receive a 'green ranking' label depending on the ecological impact of the raw materials, the recyclability of the device, how long they will last and the manufacturing, packaging and transport.
It aims to give consumers a chance to see how green their mobile phone is before buying it and encouraging manufacturers to do more to make their devices green. However Apple has refused for its iPhone to be included in this scheme suggesting that the manufacturing process isn't a particularly green one. If green living is of particular importance to you, you may well be better off considering a different mobile phone with greener credentials over the iPhone. via Guardian Need Green Web Hosting?
